Abstract excerpt
The type 1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1) is a Ca2+ release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum that is essential for skeletal muscle contraction. RyR1 forms a channel with six transmembrane segments, in which S5 is the fifth segment and is thought to contribute to pore formation. However, its role in channel gating remains unclear. Here, we performed a functional analysis of several disease-associated mutations in...
