Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), a rare autosomal dominant or recessive disease, usually results in syncope or sudden cardiac death. Most CPVT patients do not show abnormal cardiac structure and electrocardiogram features and

Homer and the ryanodine receptor
Homer proteins have recently been identified as novel high-affinity ligands that modulate ryanodine receptor (RyR) Ca(2+) release channels in heart and skeletal muscle, through an EVH1 domain which binds to proline-rich regions in target proteins. Many Homer proteins can also self-associate through a coiled-coil domain that allows their multimerisation.

Functional characterization of the cardiac ryanodine receptor pore-forming region. [PDF]
Ryanodine receptors are homotetrameric intracellular calcium release channels. The efficiency of these channels is underpinned by exceptional rates of cation translocation through the open channel and this is achieved at the expense of the high degree of

Summary Action potentials clustered into high-frequency bursts play distinct roles in neural computations. However, little is known about ionic currents that control the duration and probability of these bursts.

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 ...

A bivalent remipede toxin promotes calcium release via ryanodine receptor activation
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.

Hyperalgesic priming, a model of pain chronification in the rat, is mediated by ryanodine receptor-dependent calcium release. Although ryanodine induces priming in both sexes, females are 5 orders of magnitude more sensitive, by an estrogen receptor α ...

Dopamine nigrostriatal neurons are important for motor control and may contain a particularly dense population of ryanodine receptors involved in the control of dopamine release.

Ryanodine receptors: physiological function and deregulation in Alzheimer disease
Perturbed Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis emerges as a central player in Alzheimer disease (AD). Accordingly, different studies have reported alterations of the expression and the function of Ryanodine Receptors (RyR) in human AD ...

The Interplay of Rogue and Clustered Ryanodine Receptors Regulates Ca2+ Waves in Cardiac Myocytes
Ca2+ waves in cardiac myocytes can lead to arrhythmias owing to delayed after-depolarisations. Based on Ca2+ regulation from the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (JSR), a mathematical model was developed to investigate the interplay of clustered and ...
