This study aims to investigate how the cytoplasmic loop of the dihydropyridine receptor influences calcium release in skeletal and cardiac muscle.
Expressed cytoplasmic loop peptides of dihydropyridine receptors in Escherichia coli.
Conducted single-channel measurements and [3H]ryanodine binding assessments.
Compared activation effects of cytoplasmic loops with other proteins like polylysine and serum albumin.
The skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor was activated by DCL peptides, increasing channel open probability and [3H]ryanodine binding affinity.
Cardiac muscle calcium release channel was not activated by the DCL peptides.
Polylysine and serum albumin also increased [3H]ryanodine binding and channel activity through different mechanisms.
