Ryanodine receptor isoform studied, putative calcium binding motifs clarified

Published in Biotech Business Week, February 21st, 2005

A study from the United States has reported on the mutational analysis of putative calcium binding motifs within a skeletal ryanodine receptor isoform.

"The functional relevance of putative Ca²⁺ binding motifs previously identified with Ca²⁺ overlay binding analysis within the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor isoform (RyR1) was examined using mutational analysis," wrote J.D. Fessenden and colleagues, Boston Biomedical Research Institute.

"EF hands between amino acid positions 4081 and 4092 (EF1) and 4116 and 4127 (EF2) were scrambled singly or in combination within the full-length rabbit RyR1 cDNA. These cDNAs were expressed...
