Regulation of Ryanodine Receptor–Mediated Ca2+ Release in Vas Deferens Smooth Muscle Cells

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2009
.: Ca2+ release from intracellular store sites via the ryanodine receptor (RyR) and hormonal regulation by flutamide, an androgen-receptor (AR) antagonist, on it were examined in vas deferens (VD) smooth muscle cells (SMCs).

Aging Effects of Caenorhabditis elegans Ryanodine Receptor Variants Corresponding to Human Myopathic Mutations

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017
Delaying the decline in skeletal muscle function will be critical to better maintenance of an active lifestyle in old age. The skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor, the major intracellular membrane channel through which calcium ions pass to elicit muscle ...

Phosphorylation of Ryanodine Receptors

Biological Research, 2004
Both cardiac and skeletal muscle ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are parts of large complexes that include a number of kinases and phosphatases. These RyRs have several potential phosphorylation sites in their cytoplasmic domains, but the functional consequences of phosphorylation and the identity of the enzymes responsible have been subjects of ...

ATP- and Adenosine-Mediated Signaling in the Central Nervous System: Adenosine Stimulates Glutamate Release From Astrocytes via A2a Adenosine Receptors

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004
Adenosine enhanced intracellular Ca2+ concentrations in astrocytes via A2a adenosine receptors involving protein kinase A (PKA) activation. The Ca2+ rise is inhibited by brefeldin A, an inhibitor of vesicular transport; but not by neomycin and U73122 ...

Molecular basis for gating of cardiac ryanodine receptor explains the mechanisms for gain- and loss-of function mutations

Nature Communications, 2022
Ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) is a Ca2+ release channel essential for cardiac excitation-contraction coupling. Here, the authors use structural and functional analysis to reveal RyR2 gating mechanism and its alterations by pathogenic mutations.

Estradiol-Mediated Axogenesis of Hypothalamic Neurons Requires ERK1/2 and Ryanodine Receptors-Dependent Intracellular Ca2+ Rise in Male Rats

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
17β-estradiol (E2) induces axonal growth through extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2)-MAPK cascade in hypothalamic neurons of male rat embryos in vitro, but the mechanism that initiates these events is poorly understood.

A bivalent remipede toxin promotes calcium release via ryanodine receptor activation

Nature Communications, 2023
Insect toxins with tandem repeats of neurotoxin domains have been found with enhanced receptor avidity. Here, the authors describe a bivalent toxin from remipede venom that targets ryanodine receptors, a rare target for animal venoms.

Role of Inositol-1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptor in the Regulation of Calcium Transients in Neonatal Rat Ventricular Myocytes

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2014
This study determined the regulatory effect of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) on the basal Ca2+ transients in cardiomyocytes. In cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs) at different densities, we used confocal microscopy to ...

Acute RyR1 Ca2+ leak enhances NADH-linked mitochondrial respiratory capacity

Nature Communications, 2021
Ryanodine receptor type 1 (RyR1) are involved in skeletal muscle contraction. Here, the authors show that a transient calcium leak in response to exercise-induced post translational modifications of RyR1 causes mitochondrial remodeling to improve ...

Single-particle cryo-EM of the ryanodine receptor channel

European Journal of Translational Myology, 2015
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are tetrameric ligand-gated Ca2+ release channels that are responsible for the increase of cytosolic Ca2+ concentration leading to muscle contraction.
