Abstract

The II-III loop of the skeletal muscle dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) alpha(1S) subunit is responsible for bidirectional-signaling interactions with the ryanodine receptor (RyR1): transmitting an orthograde, excitation-contraction (EC) coupling signal to RyR1 and receiving a retrograde, current-enhancing signal from RyR1. Previously, several reports argued for the importance of two distinct regions of the skeletal II-III loop (residues R681-L690 and residues L720-Q765, respectively), claiming for each a key function in DHPR-RyR1 communication. To address whether residues 720-765 of the II-III loop are sufficient to enable skeletal-type (Ca(2+) entry-independent) EC coupling and retrograde interaction with RyR1, we constructed a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged chimera (GFP-SkLM) having rabbit skeletal (Sk) DHPR sequence except for a II-III loop (L) from the DHPR of the house fly, Musca domestica (M). The Musca II-III loop (75% dissimilarity to alpha(1S)) has no similarity to alpha(1S) in the regions R681-L690 and L720-Q765. GFP-SkLM expressed in dysgenic myotubes (which lack endogenous alpha(1S) subunits) was unable to restore EC coupling and displayed strongly reduced Ca(2+) current densities despite normal surface expr...Continue Reading
