    Abstract The cardiac ryanodine receptor-Ca2+ release channel (RyR2) is an essential sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) transmembrane protein that plays a central role in excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) in cardiomyocytes. Aberrant spontaneous, diastolic Ca2+ leak from the SR due to dysfunctional RyR2 contributes to the formation of delayed after-depolarisations, which are thought to underlie the fatal arrhythmia that occurs in both heart failure (HF) and in catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). CPVT is an inherited disorder associated with mutations in either the RyR2 or a SR luminal protein, calsequestrin. RyR2 shows normal function at rest in CPVT but the RyR2 dysfunction is unmasked by physical exercise or emotional stress, suggesting abnormal RyR2 activation as an underlying mechanism. Several potential mechanisms have been advanced to explain the dysfunctional RyR2 observed in HF and CPVT, including enhanced RyR2 phosphorylation status, altered RyR2 regulation at luminal/cytoplasmic sites and perturbed RyR2 intra/inter-molecular interactions. This review considers RyR2 dysfunction in the context of the structural and functional modulation of the channel, and potential therapeutic strategies to stabilise RyR2 function in cardiac pathology.

    Abstract Aims: Our objective was to explore the functional interdependence of protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation with binding of modulatory FK506 binding proteins (FKBP12/12.6) to the ryanodine receptor (RyR). RyR type 1 or type 2 was prepared from rabbit skeletal muscle or pig cardiac muscle, respectively. In heart failure, RyR2 dysfunction is implicated in fatal arrhythmia and RyR1 dysfunction is associated with muscle fatigue. A controversial underlying mechanism of RyR1/2 dysfunction is proposed to be hyperphosphorylation of RyR1/2 by PKA, causing loss of FKBP12/12.6 binding that is reversible by the experimental inhibitory drug K201 (JTV519). Phosphorylation is also a trigger for fatal arrhythmia in catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia associated with point mutations in RyR2.
    Methods and results: Equilibrium binding kinetics of RyR1/2 to FKBP12/12.6 were measured using surface plasmon resonance (Biacore). Free Ca(2+) concentration was used to modulate the open/closed conformation of RyR1/2 channels measured using [(3)H]ryanodine binding assays. The affinity constant-K(A), for RyR1/2 binding to FKBP12/12.6, was significantly greater for the closed compared with the open conformation. The effect of phosphorylation or K201 was to reduce the K(A) of the closed conformation by increasing the rate of dissociation k(d). K201 reduced [(3)H]ryanodine binding to RyR1/2 at all free Ca(2+) concentrations including PKA phosphorylated preparations.
    Conclusion: The results are explained through a model proposing that phosphorylation and K201 acted similarly to change the conformation of RyR1/2 and regulate FKBP12/12.6 binding. K201 stabilized the conformation, whereas phosphorylation facilitated a subsequent molecular event that might increase the rate of an open/closed conformational transition.

    Abstract Ryanodine receptor-calcium release channels play a pivotal role in the calcium signaling that mediates muscle excitation-contraction coupling. Their membrane organization into regular patterns, functional gating studies and theoretical analysis of receptor clustering have led to models that invoke allosteric interaction between individual channel oligomers as a critical mechanism for control of calcium release. Here we show that in reconstituted "checkerboard-like" lattices that mimic in situ membrane channel arrays, each oligomer is interlocked physically with four adjacent oligomers via a specific domain-domain interaction. Direct physical coupling between ryanodine receptors provides structural evidence for an inter-oligomer allosteric mechanism in channel regulation. Therefore, in addition to established cytosolic and luminal regulation of function, these observations indicate that channel-channel communication through physical coupling provides a novel mode of regulation of intracellular calcium release channels.

    Abstract Ryanodine receptor (RyR) Ca2+ release channels undergo a conformational change between the open and closed states. Its protein modulator, FK506 binding protein 12 (FKBP12), stabilises the channel gating between the four subunits that surround a central Ca2+-conducting pore. To understand the interdependence of RyR and FKBP12 binding, physiological and pharmacological agents were used to modulate the RyR open/closed state. ELISA sandwich binding assays showed that FKBP12 binding was dependent on the free Ca2+ and was lower at 1-10 microM free Ca2+ compared with 1 mM EGTA and 1 mM Ca2+, and this effect was enhanced by the inclusion of 1 mM ATP. Ruthenium red increased the binding of FKBP12. [3H]Ryanodine binding confirmed that 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM Ca2+ and 1 microM ruthenium red closed the channel, whereas 1 microM free Ca2+, 1 microM free Ca2+ + 1 mM ATP, or 10 mM caffeine opened it. These binding conditions were used in surface plasmon resonance studies to measure equilibrium binding kinetics. The affinity constant KA was significantly greater for the closed than the open channel, a change mediated by a decreased dissociation rate constant, kd. The results show that surface plasmon resonance is a powerful technique that can measure differences in RyR1 equilibrium binding kinetics with FKBP12.

    Abstract Specific interactions between adjacent ryanodine receptor (RyR) molecules to form ordered two-dimensional arrays in the membrane have been demonstrated using electron microscopy both in situ, in tissues and cells, and in vitro, with the purified protein. RyR interoligomeric association has also been inferred from observations of simultaneous channel gating during multi-RyR channel recordings in lipid bilayers. In this study, we report experiments designed to identify the region(s) of the RyR molecule, participating in this reciprocal interaction. Using epitope-specific antibodies, we identified a RyR tryptic fragment that specifically bound the intact immobilized RyR. Three overlapping RyR fragments encompassing this epitope, expressed using an in vitro mammalian expression system, were immunoprecipitated by RyR. To refine the binding regions, smaller RyR fragments were expressed as glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins, and their binding to RyR was monitored using a "sandwich" enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Three GST-RyR fusion proteins demonstrated specific binding, dependent upon ionic strength. Binding was greatest at 50-150 mm NaCl for two GST-RyR constructs, and a third GST-RyR construct demonstrated maximum binding between 150 and 450 mm NaCl. The binding at high NaCl concentration suggested involvement of a hydrophobic interaction. In silico analysis of secondary structure showed evidence of coil regions in two of these RyR fragment sequences, which might explain these data. In GST pull-down assays, these same three fragments captured RyR2, and two of them retained RyR1. These results identify a region at the center of the linear RyR (residues 2540-3207 of human RyR2) which is able to bind to the RyR oligomer. This region may constitute a specific subdomain participating in RyR-RyR interaction.

    Abstract The sperm-specific phospholipase C-zeta (PLCzeta) elicits fertilization-like Ca2+ oscillations and activation of embryo development when microinjected into mammalian eggs (Saunders, C. M., Larman, M. G., Parrington, J., Cox, L. J., Royse, J., Blayney, L. M., Swann, K., and Lai, F. A. (2002) Development (Camb.) 129, 3533-3544; Cox, L. J., Larman, M. G., Saunders, C. M., Hashimoto, K., Swann, K., and Lai, F. A. (2002) Reproduction 124, 611-623). PLCzeta may represent the physiological stimulus for egg activation and development at mammalian fertilization. PLCzeta is the smallest known mammalian PLC isozyme, comprising two EF hand domains, a C2 domain, and the catalytic X and Y core domains. To gain insight into PLCzeta structure-function, we assessed the ability of PLCzeta and a series of domain-deletion constructs to cause phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate hydrolysis in vitro and also to generate cytoplasmic Ca2+ changes in intact mouse eggs. PLCzeta and the closely related PLCdelta1 had similar K(m) values for phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, but PLCzeta was around 100 times more sensitive to Ca2+ than was PLCdelta1. Notably, specific phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate hydrolysis activity was retained in PLCzeta constructs that had either EF hand domains or the C2 domain removed, or both. In contrast, Ca2+ sensitivity was greatly reduced when either one, or both, of the EF hand domains were absent, and the Hill coefficient was reduced upon deletion of the C2 domain. Microinjection into intact mouse eggs revealed that all domain-deletion constructs were ineffective at initiating Ca2+ oscillations. These data suggest that the exquisite Ca2+-dependent features of PLCzeta regulation are essential for it to generate inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and Ca2+ oscillations in intact mouse eggs.

    Abstract Calmodulin (CaM) is a cytoplasmic calcium sensor that interacts with the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2), a large Ca(2+) channel complex that mediates Ca(2+) efflux from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) to activate cardiac muscle contraction. Direct CaM association with RyR2 is an important physiological regulator of cardiac muscle excitation-contraction coupling and defective CaM-RyR2 protein interaction has been reported in cases of heart failure. Recent genetic studies have identified CaM missense mutations in patients with a history of severe cardiac arrhythmogenic disorders that present divergent clinical features, including catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), long QT syndrome (LQTS) and idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF). Herein, we describe how two CPVT- (N54I & N98S) and three LQTS-associated (D96V, D130G & F142L) CaM mutations result in alteration of their biochemical and biophysical properties. Ca(2+)-binding studies indicate that the CPVT-associated CaM mutations, N54I & N98S, exhibit the same or a 3-fold reduced Ca(2+)-binding affinity, respectively, versus wild-type CaM, whereas the LQTS-associated CaM mutants, D96V, D130G & F142L, display more profoundly reduced Ca(2+)-binding affinity. In contrast, all five CaM mutations confer a disparate RyR2 interaction and modulation of [(3)H]ryanodine binding to RyR2, regardless of CPVT or LQTS association. Our findings suggest that the clinical presentation of CPVT or LQTS associated with these five CaM mutations may involve both altered intrinsic Ca(2+)-binding as well as defective interaction with RyR2.

    Abstract Upon fertilisation by sperm, mammalian eggs are activated by a series of intracellular Ca(2+) oscillations that are essential for embryo development. The mechanism by which sperm induces this complex signalling phenomenon is unknown. One proposal is that the sperm introduces an exclusive cytosolic factor into the egg that elicits serial Ca(2+) release. The 'sperm factor' hypothesis has not been ratified because a sperm-specific protein that generates repetitive Ca(2+) transients and egg activation has not been found. We identify a novel, sperm-specific phospholipase C, PLC zeta, that triggers Ca(2+) oscillations in mouse eggs indistinguishable from those at fertilisation. PLC zeta removal from sperm extracts abolishes Ca(2+) release in eggs. Moreover, the PLC zeta content of a single sperm was sufficient to produce Ca(2+) oscillations as well as normal embryo development to blastocyst. Our results are consistent with sperm PLC zeta as the molecular trigger for development of a fertilised egg into an embryo.

    Abstract Calmodulin (CaM) association with the cardiac muscle ryanodine receptor (RyR2) regulates excitation-contraction coupling. Defective CaM-RyR2 interaction is associated with heart failure. A novel CaM mutation (CaM(F90L)) was recently identified in a family with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) and early onset sudden cardiac death. We report the first biochemical characterization of CaM(F90L). F90L confers a deleterious effect on protein stability. Ca(2+)-binding studies reveal reduced Ca(2+)-binding affinity and a loss of co-operativity. Moreover, CaM(F90L) displays reduced RyR2 interaction and defective modulation of [(3)H]ryanodine binding. Hence, dysregulation of RyR2-mediated Ca(2+) release via aberrant CaM(F90L)-RyR2 interaction is a potential mechanism that underlies familial IVF.
