Three‐dimensional architecture of the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor

Abstract: Recent advamces in determining the three-dimensional architecture of the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor/calcium release channel (RyR) by cryo-electron microscopy and threedimensional reconstruction are discussed. The tetrameric receptor is characterized by a large 4-fold symmetric cytoplasmic assembly that consists of many domains separated by solventcontaining crevices and holes. Experimental evidence suggests that at least one regulatory ligand, calmodulin, binds to sites on the cytoplasmic assembly that… Show more

“…Our anti-RyR3 antibody is directed against a peptidic sequence that is, according to the model of ten transmembrane segments [42,55,59], localized in the cytoplasmic loop between the transmembrane segments TM4 and TM5 of the RyR3. This region, highly conserved among species, is negatively charged and contains, in its carboxyl-terminal part, two glutamate residues that may play an important role in the sensitivity of RyR3 to calcium.…”

“…If these sequences formed a hairpin loop, a long sequence would lie in the lumen. No such mass has been observed in the structure of RyR1 (18,19). In the C-terminal end of RyR1, stretches of amino acids for which the average index for each amino acid is Ͼ1 include Glu-4275-Ala-4300 (average index 1.137), Thr-4323-Gly-4363 (1.197), Arg-4557-Ile-4576 (1.241), Gly-4637-Asn-4662 (1.170), Gln-4776-Thr-4825 (1.092), Gly-4834-Val-4854 (1.201), and Leu-4911-Leu-4935 (1.253).…”

“…From these studies, it has been possible to estimate the mass of protein contained in the transmembrane domains, based on the total volume of the transmembrane domain and the volume occupied by a transmembrane helix (18,19). The intramembrane domain could accommodate 24-32 transmembrane helices (18), suggesting that the most likely number of transmembrane helices per monomer is between 6 and 8.…”

“…In this model the dihydropyridine receptors are arranged in groups of four (tetrads), which appear to be in register with the tetrameric RyR1 s in the opposing junctional SR (6,(45)(46)(47). Accordingly, it appears that each dihydropyridine receptor within a tetrad would interact with one of the clamp assemblies in the adjoining RyR1 (39,48,49). Thus, the location that we have assigned to the D2 region in the three-dimensional structure of RyR appears to be consistent with current models of the triad junction's architecture.…”
