Abstract excerpt
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are main regulators of intracellular Ca2+ release and muscle contraction. The Y522S mutation of RyR1 causes central core disease, a weakening myopathy, and malignant hyperthermia, a sudden and potentially fatal response to anesthetics or heat. Y522 is in the core of the N-terminal subdomain C of RyR1 and the mechanism of how this mutation orchestrates malfunction is unpredictable for...
