Identification of a two EF-hand Ca2+ binding domain in lobster skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor/Ca2+ release channel

Abstract

The lobster skeletal muscle Ca2+ release channel, known also as the ryanodine receptor, is composed of four polypeptides of approximately 5000 amino acids each, like its mammalian counterparts. Clones encoding the carboxy-terminal region of the lobster ryanodine receptor were isolated from a lobster skeletal muscle cDNA library. Analysis of the deduced 1513 carboxy-terminal amino acid sequence suggests a cytoplasmic Ca2+ binding domain consisting of two EF-hand Ca2+ binding motifs (amino acid residues 594-656). The Ca2+ binding properties of this domain were assessed by preparing bacterial fusion proteins with sequences from the lobster Ca2+ binding domain and the corresponding sequences of the rabbit cardiac and skeletal muscle ryanodine receptors. The lobster skeletal muscle fusion protein bound 45Ca2+ in Ca2+ overlays, and bound two Ca2+ under equilibrium binding conditions with a Hill dissociation constant (KH) of 0.9 mM and coefficient (nH) of 1.4. Rabbit skeletal and cardiac fusion proteins bound two Ca2+ with KHs of 3.7 and 3.8 mM and nHs of 1.1 and 1.3, respectively. Similar to results previously reported for the mammalian RyRs, the lobster RyR was activated by micromolar Ca2+ and inhibited by millimolar Ca2+, as determ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
