Calmodulin Binding and Inhibition of Cardiac Muscle Calcium Release Channel (Ryanodine Receptor) [PDF]
Metabolically (35)S-labeled calmodulin (CaM) was used to determine the CaM binding properties of the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) and to identify potential channel domains for CaM binding. In addition, regulation of RyR2 by CaM was assessed in [(3)H]ryanodine binding and single-channel measurements.

FKBP12.6 activates RyR1 : investigating the amino acid residues critical for channel modulation [PDF]
Funding: British Heart FoundationWe have previously shown that FKBP12 associates with RyR2 in cardiac muscle and that it modulates RyR2 function differently to FKBP12.6.

Role of the JP45-Calsequestrin Complex on Calcium Entry in Slow Twitch Skeletal Muscles [PDF]
We exploited a variety of mouse models to assess the roles of JP45-CASQ1 (CASQ, calsequestrin) and JP45-CASQ2 on calcium entry in slow twitch muscles.

SEQUENCE VARIANTS IN THE RYR1 GENE AND GENETIC DISEASES: MALIGNANT HYPERTHERMIA AND CONGENITAL MYOPATHIES [PDF]
This PhD thesis has been focused on the identification and functional characterization of sequence variants in the RYR1 gene, associated with Malignant hyperthermia (MH) and some congenital myopathies (CMs).

VDAC2-mediated regulation of calcium homeostasis in cardiomyocytes (a review)
Background. Cardiovascular diseases, especially in association with arrhythmias, remain a prevailing cause of death worldwide. Arrhythmia related to imbalanced Ca2+ homeostasis is triggered by aberrant spontaneous diastolic Ca2+ leak from sarcoplasmic ...

Reversible Block of the Calcium Release Channel/Ryanodine Receptor by Protamine, a Heparin Antidote [PDF]
Channel activity of the calcium release channel from skeletal muscle, ryanodine receptor type 1, was measured in the presence and absence of protamine sulfate on the cytoplasmic side of the channel. Single-channel activity was measured after incorporating channels into planar lipid bilayers.

Sequeira et al. reveal how the glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1‐RA) semaglutide restores cardiomyocyte function in rats subjected to a high‐fat/high‐fructose diet (HFD). Employing fluorescence‐ and patch‐clamp technology in isolated cardiac myocytes, they demonstrate that semaglutide reverses HFD‐induced activation of L‐type calcium ...

The molecular dysregulation of excitation contraction coupling in patients with congenital muscle disorders [PDF]
Excitation contraction coupling (ECC) is the process whereby an action potential spreading throughout the muscle membrane activates muscle contraction, by releasing Ca2+ from the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR).
