title: Evidence for a role of C-terminus in Ca(2+) inactivation of skeletal muscle Ca(2+) release channel (ryanodine receptor).
abstract: Six chimeras of the skeletal muscle (RyR1) and cardiac muscle (RyR2) Ca(2+) release channels (ryanodine receptors) previously used to identify RyR1 dihydropyridine receptor interactions [Nakai et al. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 13403] were expressed in HEK293 cells to assess their Ca(2+) dependence in [(3)H]ryanodine binding and single channel measurements. The results indicate that the C-terminal one-fourth has a major role in Ca(2+) activation and inactivation of RyR1. Further, our results show that replacement of RyR1 regions with corresponding RyR2 regions can result in loss and/or reduction of [(3)H]ryanodine binding affinity while maintaining channel activity.
