Characterization of brain-type ryanodine receptor permanently expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells.
To clarify a function of brain-type ryanodine receptor (RyR3) and its regulation, we established a stable cell line expressing rabbit RyR3 by transfection of Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO cells) with the cDNA and investigated characteristics of the RyR3. Scatchard analysis of [3H]-ryanodine binding to the membrane from CHO cells expressing RyR3 showed two distinct binding sites. The Kd values of high and low affinity binding sites were 1.92 and 25.9 nM, respectively. [3H]-ryanodine binding to the membrane from CHO cells expressing RyR3 was dependent on pCa. Extracellular Ca2+ (2-10 mM) and high concentration (more than 30 mM) of caffeine activated the RyR3 in CHO cells and increased its intracellular Ca2+ concentration. The enhancement of [3H]-ryanodine binding to the membrane from CHO cells expressing RyR3 was observed by bromoeudistomin D (BED), a caffeine-like powerful Ca2+ releaser, at pCa 5.5. Stably expressed RyR3 in CHO is useful for characterization of its function.
