Abstract excerpt
We analyzed the effects of calmodulin (CaM) on Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) in mouse skeletal muscle cells expressing only ryanodine receptor type 1 (RyR-1) or type 3 (RyR-3) following targeted disruption of one of the RyR genes. Under Mg2+-free conditions, CaM potentiated CICR via RyR-3 at low Ca2+ concentrations (pCa>/=6) but inhibited CICR at high Ca2+ concentrations (pCa</=5). On the other hand, CaM...
