Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the molecular basis for ryanodine receptor (RyR) activation by Ca2+ by using site-directed mutagenesis together with functional assays consisting of Ca2+ release measurements and single channel recordings in planar lipid bilayers. We report here that a single substitution of alanine for glutamate at position 3885 (located in the putative transmembrane sequence M2 of the type 3 RyR) reduces...
