Abstract
Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) are the major conduits for calcium ions (Ca2+) within excitable cells. Recent studies have highlighted the non-ionotropic functionality of VGCCs, revealing their capacity to activate intracellular pathways independently of ion flow. This non-ionotropic signaling mode plays a pivotal role in excitation-coupling processes, including gene transcription through excitation-transcription (ET), synaptic transmission via excitation-secretion (ES), and cardiac contraction through excitation-contraction (EC). However, it is noteworthy that these excitation-coupling processes require extracellular calcium (Ca2+) and Ca2+ occupancy of the channel ion pore. Analogous to the "non-canonical" characterization of the non-ionotropic signaling exhibited by the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA), which requires extracellular Ca2+ without the influx of ions, VGCC activation requires depolarization-triggered conformational change(s) concomitant with Ca2+ binding to the open channel. Here, we discuss the contributions of VGCCs to ES, ET, and EC coupling as Ca2+ binding macromolecules that transduces external stimuli to intracellular input prior to elevating intracellular Ca2+. We emphasize the recognition of calcium ion occupancy within the open ion-pore and its contribution to the excitation coupling processes that precede the influx of calcium. The non-ionotropic activation of VGCCs, triggered by the upstroke of an action potential, provides a conceptual framework to elucidate the mechanistic aspects underlying the microseconds nature of synaptic transmission, cardiac contractility, and the rapid induction of first-wave genes.

Ca V1.1 voltage-sensing domain III exclusively controls skeletal muscle excitation-contraction coupling. Nat Commun 2024; 15:7440. [PMID: 39198449 PMCID: PMC11358481 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-51809-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Skeletal muscle contractions are initiated by action potentials, which are sensed by the voltage-gated calcium channel (CaV1.1) and are conformationally coupled to calcium release from intracellular stores. Notably, CaV1.1 contains four separate voltage-sensing domains (VSDs), which activate channel gating and excitation-contraction (EC-) coupling at different voltages and with distinct kinetics. Here we show that a single VSD of CaV1.1 controls skeletal muscle EC-coupling. Whereas mutations in VSDs I, II and IV affect the current properties but not EC-coupling, only mutations in VSD III alter the voltage-dependence of depolarization-induced calcium release. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal comprehensive, non-canonical state transitions of VSD III in response to membrane depolarization. Identifying the voltage sensor that activates EC-coupling and detecting its unique conformational changes opens the door to unraveling the downstream events linking VSD III motion to the opening of the calcium release channel, and thus resolving the signal transduction mechanism of skeletal muscle EC-coupling.

Abstract
T-type calcium channels perform crucial physiological roles across a wide spectrum of tissues, spanning both neuronal and non-neuronal system. For instance, they serve as pivotal regulators of neuronal excitability, contribute to cardiac pacemaking, and mediate the secretion of hormones. These functions significantly hinge upon the intricate interplay of T-type channels with interacting proteins that modulate their expression and function at the plasma membrane. In this review, we offer a panoramic exploration of the current knowledge surrounding these T-type channel interactors, and spotlight certain aspects of their potential for drug-based therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
The CaV1.1 voltage-gated Ca2+ channel carries L-type Ca2+ current and is the voltage-sensor for excitation-contraction (EC) coupling in skeletal muscle. Significant breakthroughs in the EC coupling field have often been close on the heels of technological advancement. In particular, CaV1.1 was the first voltage-gated Ca2+ channel to be cloned, the first ion channel to have its gating current measured and the first ion channel to have an effectively null animal model. Though these innovations have provided invaluable information regarding how CaV1.1 detects changes in membrane potential and transmits intra- and inter-molecular signals which cause opening of the channel pore and support Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum remain elusive. Here, we review current perspectives on this topic including the recent application of functional site-directed fluorometry.

Abstract
SRC homology 3 (SH3) domains are fundamental modules that enable the assembly of protein complexes through physical interactions with a pool of proline-rich/noncanonical motifs from partner proteins. They are widely studied modular building blocks across all five kingdoms of life and viruses, mediating various biological processes. The SH3 domains are also implicated in the development of human diseases, such as cancer, leukemia, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, and various infections. A database search of the human proteome reveals the existence of 298 SH3 domains in 221 SH3 domain-containing proteins (SH3DCPs), ranging from 13 to 720 kilodaltons. A phylogenetic analysis of human SH3DCPs based on their multi-domain architecture seems to be the most practical way to classify them functionally, with regard to various physiological pathways. This review further summarizes the achievements made in the classification of SH3 domain functions, their binding specificity, and their significance for various diseases when exploiting SH3 protein modular interactions as drug targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital myopathy-13 (CMYP13), also known as Bailey-Bloch congenital myopathy and Native American myopathy (NAM), is a condition caused by biallelic missense pathogenic variants in STAC3, which encodes an important protein necessary for the excitation-relaxation coupling machinery in the muscle. Patients with biallelic pathogenic variants in STAC3 often present with congenital weakness and arthrogryposis, cleft palate, ptosis, myopathic facies, short stature, kyphoscoliosis, and susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia provoked by anesthesia. We present two unrelated cases of Bailey-Bloch congenital myopathy descendants of non-consanguineous parents, which were investigated for delayed psychomotor development and generalized weakness. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first descriptions of CMYP13 in Brazil. In both patients, we found the previously described pathogenic missense variant p.Trp284Ser in homozygosity. CONCLUSION We seek to highlight the need for screening for CMYP13 in patients expressing the typical phenotype of the disease even in the absence of Lumbee Native American ancestry, and to raise awareness to possible complications like malignant hyperthermia in Bailey-Bloch congenital myopathy.

Abstract
Type 1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1) is an intracellular Ca2+ release channel on the sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscle, and it plays a central role in excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling. Mutations in RyR1 are implicated in various muscle diseases including malignant hyperthermia, central core disease, and myopathies. Currently, no specific treatment exists for most of these diseases. Recently, high-throughput screening (HTS) assays have been developed for identifying potential candidates for treating RyR-related muscle diseases. Currently, two different methods, namely a FRET-based assay and an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-based assay, are available. These assays identified several compounds as novel RyR1 inhibitors. In addition, the development of a reconstituted platform permitted HTS assays for E-C coupling modulators. In this review, we will focus on recent progress in HTS assays and discuss future perspectives of these promising approaches.

Abstract
Recent structural studies have shown that the carboxyl-terminus of many TRP channels, including TRPC3, are folded into a horizontal rib helix that is connected to the vertical pole helix, which play roles in inter-structural interactions and multimerization. In a previous work we identified I807 located in the pole helix with a role in regulation of TRPC3 by STIM1 (Lee et al., 2014, Liu et al., 2022). To further determine the role of the pole helix in TRPC3 function, here we identified key hydrophobic residues in the pole helix that form tight tunnel-like structure and used mutations to probe their role in TRPC3 regulation by Ca2+ and Calmodulin. Our findings suggest that the hydrophobic starch formed by the I807-L818 residues has several roles, it modulates gating of TRPC3 by Ca2+, affects channel selectivity and the channel Ca2+ permeability. Mutations of I807, I811, L814 and L818 all attenuated the Ca2+-dependent inactivation (CDI) of TRPC3, with I807 having the most prominent effect. The extent of modulation of the CDI depended on the degree of hydrophobicity of I807. Moreover, the TRPC3(I807S) mutant showed altered channel monovalent ion selectivity and increased Ca2+ permeability, without affecting the channel permeability to Mg2+ and Ba2+ and without changing the pore diameter. The CDI of TRPC3 was reduced by an inactive calmodulin mutant and by a pharmacological inhibitor of calmodulin, which was eliminated by the I807S mutation. Notably, deletion of STIM1 caused similar alteration of TRPC3 properties. Taken together, these findings reveal a role of the pole helix in CDI, in addition to its potential role in channel multimerization that required gating of TRPC3 by STIM1. Since all TRPC and most TRP channels have pole helix structures, our findings raise the possibility that the pole helix may have similar roles in all the TRP family.

Abstract
In skeletal muscle excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling, depolarization of the plasma membrane triggers Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), referred to as depolarization-induced Ca2+ release (DICR). DICR occurs through the type 1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1), which physically interacts with the dihydropyridine receptor Cav1.1 subunit in specific machinery formed with additional essential components including β1a, Stac3 adaptor protein, and junctophilins. Exome sequencing has accelerated the discovery of many novel mutations in genes encoding DICR machinery in various skeletal muscle diseases. However, functional validation is time-consuming because it must be performed in a skeletal muscle environment. In this study, we established a platform of the reconstituted DICR in HEK293 cells. The essential components were effectively transduced into HEK293 cells expressing RyR1 using baculovirus vectors, and Ca2+ release was quantitatively measured with R-CEPIA1er, a fluorescent ER Ca2+ indicator, without contaminant of extracellular Ca2+ influx. In these cells, [K+]-dependent Ca2+ release was triggered by chemical depolarization with the aid of inward rectifying potassium channel, indicating a successful reconstitution of DICR. Using the platform, we evaluated several Cav1.1 mutations that are implicated in malignant hyperthermia and myopathy. We also tested several RyR1 inhibitors; whereas dantrolene and Cpd1 inhibited DICR, procaine had no effect. Furthermore, twitch potentiators such as perchlorate and thiocyanate shifted the voltage dependence of DICR to more negative potentials without affecting Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release. These results well reproduced the findings with the muscle fibers and the cultured myotubes. Since the procedure is simple and reproducible, the reconstituted DICR platform will be highly useful for the validation of mutations and drug discovery for skeletal muscle diseases.

Abstract
The Bailey-Bloch congenital myopathy, also known as Native American myopathy (NAM), is an autosomal recessive congenital myopathy first reported in the Lumbee tribe people settled in North Carolina (USA), and characterized by congenital weakness and arthrogryposis, cleft palate, ptosis, short stature, kyphoscoliosis, talipes deformities, and susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia (MH) triggered by anesthesia. NAM is linked to STAC3 gene coding for a component of excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscles. A homozygous missense variant (c.851G > C; p.Trp284Ser) in STAC3 segregated with NAM in the Lumbee families. Non-Native American patients with STAC3 related congenital myopathy, and with other various variants of STAC3 have been reported. Here, we present seven patients from the Comoros Islands (located in the Mozambique Channel) diagnosed with STAC3 related congenital myopathy and having the recurrent variant identified in the Lumbee people. The series is the second largest series of patients having STAC3 related congenital myopathy with a shared ethnicity after le Lumbee series. Local history and geography may explain the overrepresentation of NAM in the Comorian Archipelago with a founder effect. Further researches would be necessary for the understanding of the onset of the NAM in Comorian population as search of the "classical" STAC3 variant in East African population, and haplotypes comparison between Comorian and Lumbee patients.

Abstract
The disruption of excitation-contraction (EC) coupling and subsequent reduction in Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) have been shown to account for muscle weakness seen in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Here, we examined the mechanisms underlying EC uncoupling in skeletal muscles from mdx52 and DMD-null/NSG mice, animal models for DMD, focusing on the SH3 and cysteine rich domain 3 (STAC3) and junctophilin 1 (JP1), which link the dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) in the transverse tubule and the ryanodine receptor 1 in the SR. The isometric plantarflexion torque normalized to muscle weight of whole plantar flexor muscles was depressed in mdx52 and DMD-null/NSG mice compared to their control mice. This was accompanied by increased autolysis of calpain-1, decreased levels of STAC3 and JP1 content, and dissociation of STAC3 and JP1 from DHPR-α1s in gastrocnemius muscles. Moreover, in vitro mechanistic experiments demonstrated that STAC3 and JP1 underwent Ca2+-dependent proteolysis which was less pronounced in dystrophin-deficient muscles where calpastatin, the endogenous calpain inhibitor, was upregulated. Eccentric contractions further enhanced autolysis of calpain-1 and proteolysis of STAC3 and JP1 that were associated with severe torque depression in gastrocnemius muscles from DMD-null/NSG mice. These data suggest that Ca2+-dependent proteolysis of STAC3 and JP1 may be an essential factor causing muscle weakness due to EC coupling failure in dystrophin-deficient muscles.

Abstract
One of the most severe forms of cutaneous adverse drug reactions is 'drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms' (DRESS), hence subsequent avoidance of the causal drug is imperative. However, attribution of drug culpability in DRESS is challenging and standard skin allergy tests are not recommended due to patient safety reasons. Whilst incidence of DRESS is relatively low, between 1:1000 to 1:10,000 drug exposures, antibiotics are a commoner cause of DRESS and absence of confirmatory diagnostic test can result in unnecessary avoidance of efficacious treatment. We therefore sought to identify potential biomarkers for development of a diagnostic test in antibiotic-associated DRESS. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a 'discovery' cohort (n = 5) challenged to causative antibiotic or control were analysed for transcriptomic profile. A panel of genes was then tested in a validation cohort (n = 6) and compared to tolerant controls and other inflammatory conditions which can clinically mimic DRESS. A scoring system to identify presence of drug hypersensitivity was developed based on gene expression alterations of this panel. The DRESS transcriptomic panel identified antibiotic-DRESS cases in a validation cohort but was not altered in other inflammatory conditions. Machine learning or differential expression selection of a biomarker panel consisting of six genes (STAC, GPR183, CD40, CISH, CD4, and CCL8) showed high sensitivity and specificity (100% and 85.7-100% respectively) for identification of the culprit drug in these cohorts of antibiotic-associated DRESS. Further work is required to determine whether the same panel can be repeated for larger cohorts, different medications, and other T cell mediated drug hypersensitivity reactions.

Abstract
Excitation‐contraction coupling (ECC) is the physiological process in which an electrical signal originating from the central nervous system is converted into muscle contraction. In skeletal muscle tissue, the key step in the molecular mechanism of ECC initiated by the muscle action potential is the cooperation between two Ca2+ channels, dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR; voltage‐dependent L‐type calcium channel) and ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1). These two channels were originally postulated to communicate with each other via direct mechanical interactions; however, the molecular details of this cooperation have remained ambiguous. Recently, it has been proposed that one or more supporting proteins are in fact required for communication of DHPR with RyR1 during the ECC process. One such protein that is increasingly believed to play a role in this interaction is the SH3 and cysteine‐rich domain‐containing protein 3 (STAC3), which has been proposed to bind a cytosolic portion of the DHPR α1S subunit known as the II–III loop. In this work, we present direct evidence for an interaction between a small peptide sequence of the II–III loop and several residues within the SH3 domains of STAC3 as well as the neuronal isoform STAC2. Differences in this interaction between STAC3 and STAC2 suggest that STAC3 possesses distinct biophysical features that are potentially important for its physiological interactions with the II–III loop. Therefore, this work demonstrates an isoform‐specific interaction between STAC3 and the II–III loop of DHPR and provides novel insights into a putative molecular mechanism behind this association in the skeletal muscle ECC process.

Abstract
The sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscle cells is a highly ordered structure consisting of an intricate network of tubules and cisternae specialized for regulating Ca2+ homeostasis in the context of muscle contraction. The sarcoplasmic reticulum contains several proteins, some of which support Ca2+ storage and release, while others regulate the formation and maintenance of this highly convoluted organelle and mediate the interaction with other components of the muscle fiber. In this review, some of the main issues concerning the biology of the sarcoplasmic reticulum will be described and discussed; particular attention will be addressed to the structure and function of the two domains of the sarcoplasmic reticulum supporting the excitation-contraction coupling and Ca2+-uptake mechanisms.

Abstract
SignificanceIon channels have evolved the ability to communicate with one another, either through protein-protein interactions, or indirectly via intermediate diffusible messenger molecules. In special cases, the channels are part of different membranes. In muscle tissue, the T-tubule membrane is in proximity to the sarcoplasmic reticulum, allowing communication between L-type calcium channels and ryanodine receptors. This process is critical for excitation-contraction coupling and requires auxiliary proteins like junctophilin (JPH). JPHs are targets for disease-associated mutations, most notably hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mutations in the JPH2 isoform. Here we provide high-resolution snapshots of JPH, both alone and in complex with a calcium channel peptide, and show how this interaction is targeted by cardiomyopathy mutations.

Abstract
Ion channels play a central role in the regulation of nearly every cellular process. Dating back to the classic 1952 Hodgkin-Huxley model of the generation of the action potential, ion channels have always been thought of as independent agents. A myriad of recent experimental findings exploiting advances in electrophysiology, structural biology, and imaging techniques, however, have posed a serious challenge to this long-held axiom as several classes of ion channels appear to open and close in a coordinated, cooperative manner. Ion channel cooperativity ranges from variable-sized oligomeric cooperative gating in voltage-gated, dihydropyridine-sensitive Cav1.2 and Cav1.3 channels to obligatory dimeric assembly and gating of voltage-gated Nav1.5 channels. Potassium channels, transient receptor potential channels, hyperpolarization cyclic nucleotide-activated channels, ryanodine receptors (RyRs), and inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) have also been shown to gate cooperatively. The implications of cooperative gating of these ion channels range from fine tuning excitation-contraction coupling in muscle cells to regulating cardiac function and vascular tone, to modulation of action potential and conduction velocity in neurons and cardiac cells, and to control of pace-making activity in the heart. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms leading to cooperative gating of ion channels, their physiological consequences and how alterations in cooperative gating of ion channels may induce a range of clinically significant pathologies.

Abstract
Preconditioning contractions (PCs) have been shown to markedly improve recovery from eccentric contractions (ECCs)-induced force depression. We here examined the mechanism behind the effects of PCs with focusing on the SH3 and cysteine-rich domain 3 (STAC3) that is essential for coupling membrane depolarization to Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Rat medial gastrocnemius (MG) muscles were excised immediately (REC0), 1 day (REC1), and 4 days (REC4) after exposure to 100 repeated damaging ECCs in vivo. PCs with 10 repeated nondamaging ECCs were applied 2 days before the damaging ECCs. Damaging ECCs induced in vivo isometric torque depression at 50 and 100 Hz stimulation frequencies, which was accompanied by a significant decrease in the amount of full-length STAC3, an activation of calpain 1, and an increased number of Evans Blue dye-positive fibers in MG muscles at REC1 and REC4. Interestingly, PCs attenuated all these deleterious alterations induced by damaging ECCs. Moreover, mechanistic experiments performed on normal muscle samples exposed to various concentration of Ca2+ showed a Ca2+-dependent proteolysis of STAC3, which was prevented by calpain inhibitor MDL-28170. In conclusion, PCs may improve recovery from force depression after damaging ECCs, in part by inhibiting the loss of STAC3 due to the increased permeability of cell membrane and subsequent activation of calpain 1.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The SH3 and cysteine-rich domain 3 (STAC3) is a skeletal muscle-specific protein that couples membrane depolarization to sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release. No studies, however, examined the role of STAC3 in protective effects of preconditioning contractions (PCs) against damaging eccentric contractions (ECCs). Here, we demonstrate that PCs may improve recovery from damaging ECCs-induced force depression, in part by an inhibition of Ca2+-dependent proteolysis of STAC3 due to increased membrane permeability and subsequent calpain 1 activation.

The distinct role of the four voltage sensors of the skeletal CaV1.1 channel in voltage-dependent activation. J Gen Physiol 2021; 153:212652.

Abstract
Initiation of skeletal muscle contraction is triggered by rapid activation of RYR1 channels in response to sarcolemmal depolarization. RYR1 is intracellular and has no voltage-sensing structures, but it is coupled with the voltage-sensing apparatus of CaV1.1 channels to inherit voltage sensitivity. Using an opto-electrophysiological approach, we resolved the excitation-driven molecular events controlling both CaV1.1 and RYR1 activations, reported as fluorescence changes. We discovered that each of the four human CaV1.1 voltage-sensing domains (VSDs) exhibits unique biophysical properties: VSD-I time-dependent properties were similar to ionic current activation kinetics, suggesting a critical role of this voltage sensor in CaV1.1 activation; VSD-II, VSD-III, and VSD-IV displayed faster activation, compatible with kinetics of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release. The prominent role of VSD-I in governing CaV1.1 activation was also confirmed using a naturally occurring, charge-neutralizing mutation in VSD-I (R174W). This mutation abolished CaV1.1 current at physiological membrane potentials by impairing VSD-I activation without affecting the other VSDs. Using a structurally relevant allosteric model of CaV activation, which accounted for both time- and voltage-dependent properties of CaV1.1, to predict VSD-pore coupling energies, we found that VSD-I contributed the most energy (~75 meV or ∼3 kT) toward the stabilization of the open states of the channel, with smaller (VSD-IV) or negligible (VSDs II and III) energetic contribution from the other voltage sensors (<25 meV or ∼1 kT). This study settles the longstanding question of how CaV1.1, a slowly activating channel, can trigger RYR1 rapid activation, and reveals a new mechanism for voltage-dependent activation in ion channels, whereby pore opening of human CaV1.1 channels is primarily driven by the activation of one voltage sensor, a mechanism distinct from that of all other voltage-gated channels.

Abstract
The pancreatic islets of Langerhans secrete several hormones critical for glucose homeostasis. The β-cells, the major cellular component of the pancreatic islets, secrete insulin, the only hormone capable of lowering the plasma glucose concentration. The counter-regulatory hormone glucagon is secreted by the α-cells while δ-cells secrete somatostatin that via paracrine mechanisms regulates the α- and β-cell activity. These three peptide hormones are packed into secretory granules that are released through exocytosis following a local increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration. The high voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (HVCCs) occupy a central role in pancreatic hormone release both as a source of Ca2+ required for excitation-secretion coupling as well as a scaffold for the release machinery. HVCCs are multi-protein complexes composed of the main pore-forming transmembrane α1 and the auxiliary intracellular β, extracellular α2δ, and transmembrane γ subunits. Here, we review the current understanding regarding the role of all HVCC subunits expressed in pancreatic β-cell on electrical activity, excitation-secretion coupling, and β-cell mass. The evidence we review was obtained from many seminal studies employing pharmacological approaches as well as genetically modified mouse models. The significance for diabetes in humans is discussed in the context of genetic variations in the genes encoding for the HVCC subunits.

Abstract
The RGK (Rad, Rem, Rem2 and Gem/Kir) family of small GTPases are potent endogenous inhibitors of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs). While the impact of RGK proteins on cardiac physiology has been investigated extensively, much less is known regarding their influence on skeletal muscle biology. Thus, the purpose of this article is to establish a basis for future investigation into the role of RGK proteins in regulating the skeletal muscle excitation-contraction (EC) coupling complex via modulation of the L-type CaV1.1 VGCC. The pathological consequences of elevated muscle RGK protein expression in Type II Diabetes, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy and traumatic nerve injury are also discussed.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle ion channelopathies (SMICs) are a large heterogeneous group of rare genetic disorders caused by mutations in genes encoding ion channel subunits in the skeletal muscle mainly characterized by myotonia or periodic paralysis, potentially resulting in long-term disabilities. However, with the development of new molecular technologies, new genes and new phenotypes, including progressive myopathies, have been recently discovered, markedly increasing the complexity in the field. In this regard, new advances in SMICs show a less conventional role of ion channels in muscle cell division, proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Hence, SMICs represent an expanding and exciting field. Here, we review current knowledge of SMICs, with a description of their clinical phenotypes, cellular and molecular pathomechanisms, and available treatments.

Abstract
This review summarizes our current knowledge of human disease-relevant genetic variants within the family of voltage gated Ca2+ channels. Ca2+ channelopathies cover a wide spectrum of diseases including epilepsies, autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disabilities, developmental delay, cerebellar ataxias and degeneration, severe cardiac arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death, eye disease and endocrine disorders such as congential hyperinsulinism and hyperaldosteronism. A special focus will be on the rapidly increasing number of de novo missense mutations identified in the pore-forming α1-subunits with next generation sequencing studies of well-defined patient cohorts. In contrast to likely gene disrupting mutations these can not only cause a channel loss-of-function but can also induce typical functional changes permitting enhanced channel activity and Ca2+ signaling. Such gain-of-function mutations could represent therapeutic targets for mutation-specific therapy of Ca2+-channelopathies with existing or novel Ca2+-channel inhibitors. Moreover, many pathogenic mutations affect positive charges in the voltage sensors with the potential to form gating-pore currents through voltage sensors. If confirmed in functional studies, specific blockers of gating-pore currents could also be of therapeutic interest.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Skeletal muscle channelopathies are rare inherited conditions that cause significant morbidity and impact on quality of life. Some subsets have a mortality risk. Improved genetic methodology and understanding of phenotypes have improved diagnostic accuracy and yield. AREAS COVERED We discuss diagnostic advances since the advent of next-generation sequencing and the role of whole exome and genome sequencing. Advances in genotype-phenotype-functional correlations have improved understanding of inheritance and phenotypes. We outline new phenotypes, particularly in the pediatric setting and consider co-existing mutations that may act as genetic modifiers. We also discuss four newly identified genes associated with skeletal muscle channelopathies. EXPERT OPINION Next-generation sequencing using gene panels has improved diagnostic rates, identified new mutations, and discovered patients with co-existing pathogenic mutations ('double trouble'). This field has previously focussed on single genes, but we are now beginning to understand interactions between co-existing mutations, genetic modifiers, and their role in pathomechanisms. New genetic observations in pediatric presentations of channelopathies broadens our understanding of the conditions. Genetic and mechanistic advances have increased the potential to develop treatments.

Abstract
CaV1.1 is specifically expressed in skeletal muscle where it functions as voltage sensor of skeletal muscle excitation-contraction (EC) coupling independently of its functions as L-type calcium channel. Consequently, all known CaV1.1-related diseases are muscle diseases and the molecular and cellular disease mechanisms relate to the dual functions of CaV1.1 in this tissue. To date, four types of muscle diseases are known that can be linked to mutations in the CACNA1S gene or to splicing defects. These are hypo- and normokalemic periodic paralysis, malignant hyperthermia susceptibility, CaV1.1-related myopathies, and myotonic dystrophy type 1. In addition, the CaV1.1 function in EC coupling is perturbed in Native American myopathy, arising from mutations in the CaV1.1-associated protein STAC3. Here, we first address general considerations concerning the possible roles of CaV1.1 in disease and then discuss the state of the art regarding the pathophysiology of the CaV1.1-related skeletal muscle diseases with an emphasis on molecular disease mechanisms.

Abstract
Excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) is a physiological process that links excitation of muscles by the nervous system to their mechanical contraction. In skeletal muscle, ECC is initiated with an action potential, generated by the somatic nervous system, which causes a depolarisation of the muscle fibre membrane (sarcolemma). This leads to a rapid change in the transmembrane potential, which is detected by the voltage-gated Ca2+ channel dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) embedded in the sarcolemma. DHPR transmits the contractile signal to another Ca2+ channel, ryanodine receptor (RyR1), embedded in the membrane of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), which releases a large amount of Ca2+ ions from the SR that initiate muscle contraction. Despite the fundamental role of ECC in skeletal muscle function of all vertebrate species, the molecular mechanism underpinning the communication between the two key proteins involved in the process (DHPR and RyR1) is still largely unknown. The goal of this work is to review the recent progress in our understanding of ECC in skeletal muscle from the point of view of the structure and interactions of proteins involved in the process, and to highlight the unanswered questions in the field.

Abstract
The skeletal muscle and myocardial cells present highly specialized structures; for example, the close interaction between the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and mitochondria—responsible for excitation-metabolism coupling—and the junction that connects the SR with T-tubules, critical for excitation-contraction (EC) coupling. The mechanisms that underlie EC coupling in these two cell types, however, are fundamentally distinct. They involve the differential expression of Ca2+ channel subtypes: CaV1.1 and RyR1 (skeletal), vs. CaV1.2 and RyR2 (cardiac). The CaV channels transform action potentials into elevations of cytosolic Ca2+, by activating RyRs and thus promoting SR Ca2+ release. The high levels of Ca2+, in turn, stimulate not only the contractile machinery but also the generation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS). This forward signaling is reciprocally regulated by the following feedback mechanisms: Ca2+-dependent inactivation (of Ca2+ channels), the recruitment of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger activity, and oxidative changes in ion channels and transporters. Here, we summarize both well-established concepts and recent advances that have contributed to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in this bidirectional signaling.

Abstract
Cl- channels serve as key regulators of excitability and contractility in vascular, intestinal, and airway smooth muscle cells. We recently reported a Cl- conductance in detrusor smooth muscle (DSM) cells. Here, we used the whole cell patch-clamp technique to further characterize biophysical properties and physiological regulators of the Cl- current in freshly isolated guinea pig DSM cells. The Cl- current demonstrated outward rectification arising from voltage-dependent gating of Cl- channels rather than the Cl- transmembrane gradient. An exposure of DSM cells to hypotonic extracellular solution (Δ 165 mOsm challenge) did not increase the Cl- current providing strong evidence that volume-regulated anion channels do not contribute to the Cl- current in DSM cells. The Cl- current was monotonically dependent on extracellular pH, larger and lower in magnitude at acidic (5.0) and basic pH (8.5) values, respectively. Additionally, intracellularly applied phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] analog [PI(4,5)P2-diC8] increased the average Cl- current density by approximately threefold in a voltage-independent manner. The magnitude of the DSM whole cell Cl- current did not depend on the cell surface area (cell capacitance) regardless of the presence or absence of PI(4,5)P2-diC8, an intriguing finding that underscores the complex nature of Cl- channel expression and function in DSM cells. Removal of both extracellular Ca2+ and Mg2+ did not affect the DSM whole cell Cl- current, whereas Gd3+ (1 mM) potentiated the current. Collectively, our recent and present findings strongly suggest that Cl- channels are critical regulators of DSM excitability and are regulated by extracellular pH, Gd3+, and PI(4,5)P2.

Abstract
The voltage-gated calcium channel CaV1.1a primarily functions as voltage-sensor in skeletal muscle excitation-contraction (EC) coupling. In embryonic muscle the splice variant CaV1.1e, which lacks exon 29, additionally function as a genuine L-type calcium channel. Because previous work in most laboratories used a CaV1.1 expression plasmid containing a single amino acid substitution (R165K) of a critical gating charge in the first voltage-sensing domain (VSD), we corrected this substitution and analyzed its effects on the gating properties of the L-type calcium currents in dysgenic myotubes. Reverting K165 to R right-shifted the voltage-dependence of activation by ~12 mV in both CaV1.1 splice variants without changing their current amplitudes or kinetics. This demonstrates the exquisite sensitivity of the voltage-sensor function to changes in the specific amino acid side chains independent of their charge. Our results further indicate the cooperativity of VSDs I and IV in determining the voltage-sensitivity of CaV1.1 channel gating.

Abstract
Intracellular calcium (Ca2+) signals are of prime importance for cellular function and behavior and are underpinned by a plethora of Ca2+ channels, pumps, transporters, and binding proteins that are regulated in complex ways. A series of biennial meetings, the International Meetings of the European Calcium Society (ECS), focuses on a better understanding of these complex mechanisms in the framework of cellular and organismal (patho)physiology.

Abstract
Aim: Identify variants in RYR1, CACNA1S and STAC3, and predict malignant hyperthermia (MH) pathogenicity using Bayesian statistics in individuals clinically treated as MH susceptible (MHS). Materials & methods: Whole exome sequencing including RYR1, CACNA1S and STAC3 performed on 64 subjects with: MHS; suspected MH event or first-degree relative; and MH negative. Variant pathogenicity was estimated using in silico analysis, allele frequency and prior data to calculate Bayesian posterior probabilities. Results: Bayesian statistics predicted CACNA1S variant p.Thr1009Lys and RYR1 variants p.Ser1728Phe and p.Leu4824Pro are likely pathogenic, and novel STAC3 variant p.Met187Thr has uncertain significance. Nearly a third of MHS subjects had only benign variants. Conclusion: Bayesian method provides new approach to predict MH pathogenicity of genetic variants.
