| Research Abstract |
Voltage-gated L-type calcium channels (Dihydropyridine receptors) and ryanodine receptors (calcium release channels) play important roles in muscle contruction. In this research, chimeras of the skeletal muscle (RyR1) and cardiac muscle (RyR2) ryanodine receptor were expressed in HEK293 cells to assess their calcium dependence in [^3H] ryanodine binding and single channel measurements. The results indicate that the C-terminal one-fourth has a major role in calcium activation and inactivation of RyR1. Further, our results show that replacement of RyR1 regions corresponding RyR2 regions can result in loss and/or reduction of [^3H] ryanodine binding affinity while maintaining channel activity.
