Abstract excerpt
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is an inherited pharmacogenetic disorder caused by mutations in the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor (RyR1) and the dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) alpha(1S)-subunit. We characterized the effects of an MH mutation in the DHPR cytoplasmic III-IV loop of alpha(1S) (R1086H) on DHPR-RyR1 coupling after reconstitution in dysgenic (alpha(1S) null) myotubes. Compared with wild-type...
