Abstract excerpt
A highly conserved amino acid sequence, GVRAGGGIGD(4831), which may form part of the Ca(2+) release channel pore in RyR2, was subjected to Ala scanning or Ala to Val mutagenesis; function was then measured by expression in HEK-293 cells, followed by Ca(2+) photometry, high affinity [(3)H]ryanodine binding, and single-channel recording. All mutants except I4829A and I4829T (corresponding to the I4897T central core...
