Abstract
The ryanodine receptor (RyR) is a Ca(2+) release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum in vertebrate skeletal muscle and plays an important role in excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling. Whereas mammalian skeletal muscle predominantly expresses a single RyR isoform, RyR1, skeletal muscle of many nonmammalian vertebrates expresses equal amounts of two distinct isoforms, α-RyR and β-RyR, which are homologues of mammalian RyR1 and RyR3, respectively. In this review we describe our current understanding of the functions of these two RyR isoforms in nonmammalian vertebrate skeletal muscle. The Ca(2+) release via the RyR channel can be gated by two distinct modes: depolarization-induced Ca(2+) release (DICR) and Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR). In frog muscle, α-RyR acts as the DICR channel, whereas β-RyR as the CICR channel. However, several lines of evidence suggest that CICR by β-RyR may make only a minor contribution to Ca(2+) release during E-C coupling. Comparison of frog and mammalian RyR isoforms highlights the marked differences in the patterns of Ca(2+) release mediated by RyR1 and RyR3 homologues. Interestingly, common features in the Ca(2+) release patterns are noticed between β-RyR and RyR1. We will discuss possible roles and significance of the two RyR isoforms in E-C coupling and other processes in nonmammalian vertebrate skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Spontaneous Ca(2+) release occurs in cardiac cells during sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) overload, a process we refer to as store-overload-induced Ca(2+) release (SOICR). Unlike cardiac cells, skeletal muscle cells exhibit little SOICR activity. The molecular basis of this difference is not well defined. In this study, we investigated the SOICR properties of HEK293 cells expressing RyR1 or RyR2. We found that HEK293 cells expressing RyR2 exhibited robust SOICR activity, whereas no SOICR activity was observed in HEK293 cells expressing RyR1. However, in the presence of low concentrations of caffeine, SOICR could be triggered in these RyR1-expressing cells. At the single-channel level, we showed that RyR2 is much more sensitive to luminal Ca(2+) than RyR1. To identify the molecular determinants responsible for these differences, we constructed two chimeras between RyR1 and RyR2, N-RyR1(1-4006)/C-RyR2(3962-4968) and N-RyR2(1-3961)/C-RyR1(4007-5037). We found that replacing the C-terminal region of RyR1 with the corresponding region of RyR2 (N-RyR1/C-RyR2) dramatically enhanced the propensity for SOICR and the response to luminal Ca(2+), whereas replacing the C-terminal region of RyR2 with the corresponding region of RyR1 (N-RyR2/C-RyR1) reduced the propensity for SOICR and the luminal Ca(2+) response. These observations indicate that the C-terminal region of RyR is a critical determinant of both SOICR and the response to luminal Ca(2+). These chimeric studies also reveal that the N-terminal region of RyR plays an important role in regulating SOICR and luminal Ca(2+) response. Taken together, our results demonstrate that RyR1 differs markedly from RyR2 with respect to their responses to Ca(2+) overload and luminal Ca(2+), and suggest that the lack of spontaneous Ca(2+) release in skeletal muscle cells is, in part, attributable to the unique intrinsic properties of RyR1.

Abstract
To activate skeletal muscle contraction, action potentials must be sensed by dihydropyridine receptors (DHPRs) in the T tubule, which signal the Ca(2+) release channels or ryanodine receptors (RyRs) in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) to open. We demonstrate here an inhibitory effect of the T tubule on the production of sparks of Ca(2+) release. Murine primary cultures were confocally imaged for Ca(2+) detection and T tubule visualization. After 72 h of differentiation, T tubules extended from the periphery for less than one-third of the myotube radius. Spontaneous Ca(2+) sparks were found away from the region of cells where tubules were found. Immunostaining showed RyR1 and RyR3 isoforms in all areas, implying inhibition of both isoforms by a T tubule component. To test for a role of DHPRs in this inhibition, we imaged myotubes from dysgenic mice (mdg) that lack DHPRs. These exhibited T tubule development similar to that of normal myotubes, but produced few sparks, even in regions where tubules were absent. To increase spark frequency, a high-Ca(2+) saline with 1 mM caffeine was used. Wild-type cells in this saline plus 50 microM nifedipine retained the topographic suppression pattern of sparks, but dysgenic cells in high-Ca(2+) saline did not. Shifted excitation and emission ratios of indo-1 in the cytosol or mag-indo-1 in the SR were used to image [Ca(2+)] in these compartments. Under the conditions of interest, wild-type and mdg cells had similar levels of free [Ca(2+)] in cytosol and SR. These data suggest that DHPRs play a critical role in reducing the rate of spontaneous opening of Ca(2+) release channels and/or their susceptibility to Ca(2+)-induced activation, thereby suppressing the production of Ca(2+) sparks.

Abstract
Ryanodine receptor (RyR) is a Ca(2)(+) release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum and plays an important role in excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle. The Ca(2)(+) release through the RyR channel can be gated by two distinct modes: depolarization-induced Ca(2)(+) release (DICR) and Ca(2)(+)-induced Ca(2)(+) release (CICR). Two different RyR isoforms, RyR1 (or alpha-RyR) and RyR3 (or beta-RyR), have been found to be expressed in skeletal muscle. Most adult mammalian muscles express primarily RyR1, whereas almost equal amounts of the two RyR isoforms exist in many nonmammalian vertebrate muscles. RyR1 is believed to be responsible for both DICR and CICR, whereas RyR3 may function as the CICR channel. Recent findings demonstrate that alpha-RyR is selectively and markedly suppressed in CICR activity in frog skeletal muscle. This selective suppression of RyR1, although to a lesser extent, also was found to occur in mammalian skeletal muscle. This short review describes the biological meanings of this selective suppression and discusses physiological roles and significance of the two RyR isoforms in vertebrate skeletal muscle.

Abstract
We reported earlier that the two ryanodine receptor (RyR) isoforms (alpha- and beta-RyR) purified from frog skeletal muscle were equipotent in the Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR) activity (Murayama, T., Kurebayashi, N., and Ogawa, Y. (2000) Biophys. J. 78, 1810-1824). Whether this is also the case with the native Ca(2+) release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), however, remains to be determined. Taking advantage of the facts that [(3)H]ryanodine binds only to the open form of the channels and that it is practically irreversible at 4 degrees C, we devised a method to separate the total binding to contributions of alpha- and beta-RyR, using immunoprecipitation with an alpha-RyR-specific monoclonal antibody. Surprisingly, the binding of alpha-RyR was strongly suppressed to as low as approximately 4% that of beta-RyR in the SR vesicles. The two isoforms, however, showed no difference in sensitivity to Ca(2+), adenine nucleotides, or caffeine. This reduced binding of alpha-RyR was ascribed to the low affinity for [(3)H]ryanodine, with no change in the maximal binding sites. Solubilization of SR with 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl) dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonic acid partly remedied this nonequivalence, whereas 1 m NaCl was ineffective. 12-kDa FK506-binding protein (FKBP12), however, could not be responsible for it, because FK506 treatment did not eliminate the suppression, in contrast to marked removal of 12-kDa FK506-binding protein from alpha-RyR. These results suggest that alpha-RyR in the SR may serve Ca(2+) release in a mode other than CICR, being selectively suppressed in CICR.

Abstract
Nerve-evoked contractile activity in skeletal muscle regulates transcript and protein levels of many metabolic genes in a coordinate fashion, including the muscle isozyme of glycogen phosphorylase (MGP). Cellular signaling mechanisms mediating the activity-dependent modulation of MGP transcript levels were investigated in a spontaneously contractile rat skeletal muscle cell line (Rmo). Mechanisms regulating MGP mRNA levels in Rmo myotubes were compared with those previously shown to modulate the gene encoding the alpha subunit of the acetylcholine receptor (alphaAChR). Reducing the resting membrane potential from -78 to -30 mV, either electrochemically (KCl) or by increasing Na(+) permeability (veratridine): (1) prevented activation of transverse tubules, (2) impeded calcium release by the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), and (3) blocked Rmo contractility. MGP mRNA levels decreased to 30% of control levels and alphaAChR levels increased to 350% following 24 h of depolarization. Differing mechanisms appear to mediate this voltage-dependent regulation of MGP and alphaAChR. Inhibition of SR calcium efflux selectively decreased MGP mRNA levels by 30-50% when using dantrolene, thapsigargin, or a dose of ryanodine shown to inactivate Ca(2+)-induced SR Ca(2+) release (CICR). By contrast, blockade of voltage sensors in transverse tubules with nifedipine, a dihydroaminopyridine (DHAP) antagonist, selectively increased alphaAChR mRNA levels by twofold. These data indicate that the voltage-dependent regulation of AChR gene expression differs from that modulating the MGP gene. KCl-induced depolarization and dantrolene both inhibit pulsatile SR Ca(2+) efflux in Rmo myotubes, but by differing mechanisms. Depolarization and dantrolene comparably reduced MGP mRNA levels and decreased MGP transcript stability from a t(1/2) of 24 h to 14.5 and 16 h, respectively. Reduced transcript stability can account for the observed reduction in mRNA levels of MGP in noncontractile Rmo myotubes and could be a significant regulatory mechanism in skeletal muscle that coordinates the activity-dependent expression of MGP with other glycogenolytic genes.

Abstract
Dihydropyridines (DHPs) are widely used antihypertensive drugs and inhibit excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling in vascular smooth muscle and in myocardial cells by antagonizing L-type Ca2+ channels (DHP receptors). However, contradictory reports exist about the interaction of the DHP with the skeletal muscle isoform of the DHP receptor and E-C coupling in skeletal muscle cells. Using the intracellular fluorescent Ca2+ indicator fura-2, an increase in [Ca2+]i was observed after extracellular application of nifedipine to cultured human skeletal muscle cells. The rise in [Ca2+]i was dose dependent with a calculated EC50 of 614 +/- 96 nM nifedipine and a maximum increment in [Ca2+]i of 80 +/- 3.2 nM. Similar values were obtained with nitrendipine. This effect of DHPs was restricted to differentiated skeletal muscle cells and was not seen in non-differentiated cells or in PC12 cells. In spite of the observed increase in [Ca2+]i, whole-cell patch clamp experiments revealed that 10 microM nifedipine abolished inward Ba2+ currents through L-type Ca2+ channels completely. Similar to nifedipine, (+/-)Bay K 8644, an agonist of the L-type Ca2+ channel, also increased [Ca2+]i. This effect could not be enhanced by further addition of nifedipine, suggesting that both DHPs act via a common signalling pathway. Based on the specific mechanism of the skeletal muscle E-C coupling, we propose the stabilization of a conformational state of the DHP receptor by DHPs, which is sufficient to activate the ryanodine receptor.

Abstract
Excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle is a result of the interaction between the Ca2+ release channel of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (ryanodine receptor or RyR1) and the skeletal muscle L-type Ca2+ channel (dihydropyridine receptor or DHPR). Interactions between RyR1 and DHPR are critical for the depolarization-induced activation of Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, enhancement of DHPR Ca2+ channel activity, and repolarization-induced inactivation of RyR1. The DHPR III-IV loop was fused to glutathione S-transferase (GST) or His-peptide and used as a protein affinity column for 35S-labeled, in vitro translated fragments from the N-terminal three-fourths of RyR1. RyR1 residues Leu922-Asp1112 bound specifically to the DHPR III-IV loop column, but the corresponding fragment from the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) did not. Construction of chimeras between RyR1 and RyR2 showed that amino acids Lys954-Asp1112 retained full binding activity, whereas Leu922-Phe1075 had no binding activity. The RyR1 sequence Arg1076-Asp1112, previously shown to interact with the DHPR II-III loop (Leong, P., and MacLennan, D., H. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 7791-7794), bound to DHPR III-IV loop columns, but with only half the efficiency of binding of the longer RyR1 sequence, Lys954-Asp1112. These data suggest that the site of DHPR III-IV loop interaction contains elements from both the Lys954-Phe1075 and Arg1076-Asp1112 fragments. The presence of 4 +/- 0.4 microM GST-DHPR II-III or 5 +/- 0.1 microM His-peptide-DHPR III-IV was required for half-maximal co-purification of 35S-labeled RyR1 Leu922-Asp1112 on glutathione-Sepharose or Ni2+-nitrilotriacetic acid. Dose-dependent inhibition of 35S-labeled RyR1 Leu922-Asp1112 binding to GST-DHPR II-III and GST-DHPR III-IV by His10-DHPR II-III and His-peptide-DHPR III-IV was observed. These studies indicate that the DHPR II-III and III-IV loops bind to contiguous and possibly overlapping sites on RyR1 between Lys 954 and Asp1112.

Abstract
The effect of the dihydropyridine, nifedipine, on excitation-contraction coupling was compared in toad and rat skeletal muscle, using the mechanically skinned fibre technique, in order to understand better the apparently disparate results of previous studies and to examine recent proposals on the importance of certain intracellular factors in determining the efficacy of dihydropyridines. In twitch fibres from the iliofibularis muscle of the toad, 10 microM nifedipine completely inhibited depolarization-induced force responses within 30 s, without interfering with direct activation of the Ca(2+)-release channels by caffeine application or reduction of myoplasmic [Mg2+]. At low concentrations of nifedipine, inhibition was considerably augmented by repeated depolarizations, with half-maximal inhibition occurring at < 0.1 microM nifedipine. In contrast, in rat extensor digitorum longus (EDL) fibres 1 microM nifedipine had virtually no effect on depolarization-induced force responses, and 10 microM nifedipine caused only approximately 25% reduction in the responses, even upon repeated depolarizations. In rat fibres, 10 microM nifedipine shifted the steady-state force inactivation curve to more negative potentials by < 11 mV, whereas in toad fibres the potent inhibitory effect of nifedipine indicated a much larger shift. The inhibitory effect of nifedipine in rat fibres was little, if at all, increased by the absence of Ca2+ in the transverse tubular (t-) system, provided that the Ca2+ was replaced with sufficient Mg2+. The presence of the reducing agents dithiothreitol (10 mM) or glutathione (10 mM) in the solution bathing a toad skinned fibre did not reduce the inhibitory effect of nifedipine, suggesting that the potency of nifedipine in toad skinned fibres was not due to the washout of intracellular reducing agents. The results are considered in terms of a model that can account for the markedly different effects of nifedipine on the two putative functions of the dihydropyridine receptor, as both t-system calcium channel and a voltage-sensor controlling Ca2+ release.

Abstract
Excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle is thought to involve a physical interaction between the alpha 1-subunit of the dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) and the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-release channel (also known as the ryanodine receptor). Considerable evidence has accumulated to suggest that the cytoplasmic loop between domains II and III of the DHPR alpha 1-subunit is at least partially responsible for this interaction. Other parts of this subunit or other subunits may, however, contribute to the functional and/or structural coupling between these two proteins. A synthetic peptide corresponding to a conserved sequence located between amino acids 1487 and 1506 in the carboxy terminus of the alpha 1-subunit inhibits both [3H]ryanodine binding to skeletal and cardiac SR membranes and the activity of skeletal SR Ca(2+)-release channels reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers. A second, multiantigenic peptide synthesized to correspond to the same sequence inhibits both binding and channel activity at lower concentrations than the linear peptide. These peptides slow the rate at which [3H]ryanodine binds to its high-affinity binding site and decrease the rate at which [3H]ryanodine dissociates from this site. A third polypeptide synthesized in Escherichia coli and corresponding to amino acids 1381-1627 and encompassing the above sequence has similar effects. This portion of the alpha 1-subunit of the transverse tubule DHPR is therefore a candidate for contributing to the interaction of this protein with the Ca(2+)-release channel.
