Abstract
Calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) was first discovered in skeletal muscle. CICR is defined as Ca2+ release by the action of Ca2+ alone without the simultaneous action of other activating processes. CICR is biphasically dependent on Ca2+ concentration; is inhibited by Mg2+, procaine, and tetracaine; and is potentiated by ATP, other adenine compounds, and caffeine. With depolarization of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), a potential change of the SR membrane in which the luminal side becomes more negative, CICR is activated for several seconds and is then inactivated. All three types of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) show CICR activity. At least one RyR, RyR1, also shows non-CICR Ca2+ release, such as that triggered by the t-tubule voltage sensor, by clofibric acid, and by SR depolarization. Maximum rates of CICR, at the optimal Ca2+ concentration in the presence of physiological levels of ATP and Mg2+ determined in skinned fibers and fragmented SR, are much lower than the rate of physiological Ca2+ release. The primary event of physiological Ca2+ release, the Ca2+ spark, is the simultaneous opening of multiple channels, the coordinating mechanism of which does not appear to be CICR because of the low probability of CICR opening under physiological conditions. The coordination may require Ca2+, but in that case, some other stimulus or stimuli must be provided simultaneously, which is not CICR by definition. Thus CICR does not appear to contribute significantly to physiological Ca2+ release. On the other hand, CICR appears to play a key role in caffeine contracture and malignant hyperthermia. The potentiation of voltage-activated Ca2+ release by caffeine, however, does not seem to occur through secondary CICR, although the site where caffeine potentiates voltage-activated Ca2+ release might be the same site where caffeine potentiates CICR.

Abstract
The role of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate as a second messenger in signal transduction has been well established in many cell types. However, conflicting reports have led to a controversy regarding the role, if any, of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate signalling in skeletal muscle. Indeed, expression of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor has not previously been demonstrated in skeletal muscle. In the present study we used in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, and [3H]-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate binding to demonstrate that rat skeletal muscle fibres contain inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors. RNAse protection and partial sequencing suggested that the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors expressed in skeletal muscle was most similar to the non-neuronal form of the type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor. While in situ hybridization showed inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor mRNA in all types of skeletal myofibres, immunodetectable inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor protein and specific [3H]-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate binding sites were preferentially expressed in slow oxidative (type I) and fast oxidative-glycolytic (type IIA) fibres, but not in fast glycolytic (type IIB) fibres. These findings indicate that an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor is preferentially expressed in oxidative fibres of skeletal muscle.

Abstract
We examined the spatiotemporal pattern of intracellular Ca2+ liberation in mouse myotubes by means of fluorescence imaging of cytosolic free Ca2+ together with the simultaneous recording of membrane whole-cell currents. Acetylcholine (ACh) applications to C2C12 myotubes equilibrated in Ca(2+)-free medium and voltage clamped at -50 mV evoked localized fluorescence transients of variable amplitude with less than 0.5 s delay. Under the same experimental conditions, fluorescence transients were elicited by ACh also in mouse primary myotubes. Ca2+ transients were inhibited in myotubes clamped at depolarized potentials (-10 mV to +50 mV), or equilibrated in a Na+,Ca(2+)-free medium as well as in cells loaded with heparin, or with inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate (InsP3). To investigate whether InsP3 could induce Ca2+ mobilization, [Ca2+]i determinations were carried out in myotubes loaded with InsP3 through the whole-cell patch-clamp recording pipette or by extracellular application in permeabilized cells. InsP3 diffusion into the myoplasm caused Ca2+ spikes with 5 +/- 1 s (mean +/- SEM) delay from the rupture of the membrane patch. Spikes were followed by sustained increases in fluorescence or by damped oscillations. In permeabilized myotubes, InsP3 induced the release of sequestered 45Ca2+ with a half-maximally effective concentration (EC50) of 0.28 +/- 0.05 microM, and Hill coefficient of 0.79 +/- 0.09. It is concluded that the ACh-activated inward current in mouse myotubes is coupled to cytosolic Ca2+ mobilization from internal InsP3-sensitive pools.

Abstract
1. The mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular stores by D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate[Ins(1,4,5)P3] is now widely accepted as the primary link between plasma membrane receptors that stimulate phospholipase C and the subsequent increase in intracellular free Ca2+ that occurs when such receptors are activated (Berridge, 1993). Since the observations of Volpe et al. (1985) which showed that Ins(1,4,5)P3 could induce Ca2+ release from isolated terminal cisternae membranes and elicit contracture of chemically skinned muscle fibres, research has focused on the role of Ins(1,4,5)P3 in the generation of SR Ca2+ transients and in the mechanism of excitation-contraction coupling (EC-coupling). 2. The mechanism of signal transduction at the triadic junction during EC-coupling is unknown. Asymmetric charge movement and mechanical coupling between highly specialized triadic proteins has been proposed as the primary mechanism for voltage-activated generation of SR Ca2+ signals and subsequent contraction. Ins(1,4,5)P3 has also been proposed as the major signal transduction molecule for the generation of the primary Ca2+ transient produced during EC-coupling. 3. Investigations on the generation of Ca2+ transients by Ins(1,4,5)P3 have been conducted on ion channels incorporated into lipid bilayers, skinned and intact fibres and isolated membrane vesicles. Ins(1,4,5)P3 induces SR Ca2+ release and the enzymes responsible for its synthesis and degradation are present in muscle tissue. However, the sensitivity of the Ca2+ release mechanism to Ins(1,4,5)P3 is highly dependent on experimental conditions and on membrane potential. 4. While Ins(1,4,5)P3 may not be the major signal transduction molecule for the generation of the primary Ca2+ signal produced during voltage-activated contraction, this inositol polyphosphate may play a functional role as a modulator of EC-coupling and/or of the processes of myoplasmic Ca2+ regulation occurring on a time scale of seconds, during the events of contraction.

Abstract
The interaction of the Ca2+ binding protein calmodulin (CaM) with the ryanodine receptor of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of pig skeletal muscle was investigated by [3H]-ryanodine binding, planar bilayer recordings, and rapid filtration of 45Ca(2+)-loaded SR. Inhibition of [3H]-ryanodine binding by CAM was phosphorylation-independent, had an IC50 of approximately 0.1 microM and was optimal at 10 microM Ca(2+). CaM also inhibited [3H]-ryanodine binding to CHAPS-solubilized and purified ryanodine receptors, suggesting a direct CaM-ryanodine receptor interaction. In single channel recordings, CaM blocked Ca2+ release channels in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner by decreasing the number of open events per unit time without affecting the mean open time or unitary channel conductance. Rapid filtration of 45Ca2+ passively loaded into SR vesicles showed that CaM blocked Ca2+ release within milliseconds of exposure of SR to a Ca2+ release medium containing 10 microM CaM. In controls, an increase in extravesicular Ca2+ from 7 nM to 10 microM resulted in a release of 47 +/- 10% of the 45Ca2+ in 20 ms. CaM reduced the release to 23 +/- 12% in the same period. These results are compatible with a direct mechanism of Ca2+ release channel blockade by CaM and suggest that CaM could play a significant role in the inactivation of SR Ca2+ release during excitation-contraction coupling.

Abstract
Recent findings on the ryanodine receptor of vertebrates, a Ca-release channel protein for the caffeine- and ryanodine-sensitive Ca pools, are reviewed in this article. Three distinct genes, i.e., ryr1, ryr2, and ryr3, express different isoforms in specific locations: Ryr1 in skeletal muscle and Purkinje cells of cerebellum; Ryr2 in cardiac muscle and brain, especially cerebellum; Ryr3 in skeletal muscle of nonmammalian vertebrates, the corpus striatum, and limbic cortex of brain, smooth muscles, and the other cells in vertebrates. While only one isoform (Ryr1) is expressed in mammalian skeletal muscles, two isoforms (alpha- and beta-isoforms expressed by ryr1 and ryr3, respectively) are found in nonmammalian vertebrate skeletal muscles. Although the coexistence of two isoforms may merely be related to differentiation and specialization, the biological significance remains to be clarified. Ryanodine receptors in vertebrate skeletal muscles are believed to mediate two different modes of Ca release: Ca(2+)-induced Ca release and action potential-induced Ca release. All results obtained so far with any isoform of ryanodine receptor are related to Ca(2+)-induced Ca release and show very similar characteristics. Ca(2+)-induced Ca release, however, cannot be the underlying mechanism of Ca release on skeletal muscle activation. Susceptibility of the ryanodine receptor's ryanodine-binding activity to modification by physical factors, such as osmolality of the medium, might be related to action potential-induced Ca release. A hypothesis of molecular interaction in view of the plunger model of action potential-induced Ca release is discussed, suggesting that the model could be compatible with Ryr1 and Ryr3, but incompatible with Ryr2. The functional relevance of ryanodine receptor isoforms, especially Ryr3, in brain also remains to be clarified. Among ryr1 gene-related diseases, malignant hyperthermia was the first to be identified; however, there is still the possibility of involvement of the other genes. Central core disease has been added to the list recently. A molecular approach for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases is now in progress.

Abstract
The Bio 14.6 Cardiomyopathic Syrian Hamster (CMH) has an autosomal recessive disease characterized by intracellular calcium overload, cardiac and skeletal myopathies and premature death from congestive heart failure. Early treatment of these animals with the calcium antagonist, verapamil (V), prevents the development of the disease. We have previously provided evidence supporting a specific defect in the ryanodine-sensitive SR calcium release channel (SRCRC) in CMH. We now provide physiologic and biochemical evidence that V modulates SRCRC. Papillary muscles prepared from F1B control hamsters (F1B) revealed an enhanced inotropic responsiveness to V and ryanodine (R) with age, not seen with CMH. CMH papillary muscles demonstrated paradoxical positive inotropic effects of V and R not shared with F1B. The positive inotropic effects of V and R were not additive. V enhanced the affinity (decreased KD) of [3H]ryanodine binding to cardiac membranes. Thus, V may prevent the overt manifestations of genetic disease in CMH by modulating a defective ryanodine-sensitive SR release channel.

Abstract
It has been proposed that in striated muscle inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) may serve as a chemical transmitter linking membrane depolarization to Ca(2+)-release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Key to that hypothesis of excitation-concentration (EC) coupling was the observation that skinned muscle fibres contract on the application of InsP3. Yet skinned fibres do not always respond in this way, and in our hands intact fibres do not contract when InsP3 (1 microM-1 mM) is microinjected into them. Glycerol-shocked fibres do contract, however, and so do intact fibres that have been depolarized to about -50 mV by increasing [K+]0. These observations and related pharmacological evidence support the hypothesis that InsP3 causes a low-level depolarizing current to cross the T-tubular membrane. This current is sufficient to depolarize the T-tubules to the threshold for contraction only when the tubules are sealed over or when they are already close to the threshold. The InsP3-induced Ca2+ release sometimes observed in skinned muscle fibres and in vesicles derived from junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum probably often results from an action on sealed-over transverse tubules; in such situations it is an artifact of cell disruption. The fact that high concentrations of InsP3 do not cause contraction in normal muscle fibres is strong evidence against the hypothesis that InsP3 plays a central role in EC coupling in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
The kinetics of Ca2+ release induced by the second messenger D-myoinositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate (IP3), by the hydrolysis-resistant analogue D-myoinositol 1,4,5 trisphosphorothioate (IPS3), and by micromolar Ca2+ were resolved on a millisecond time scale in the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of rabbit skeletal muscle. The total Ca2+ mobilized by IP3 and IPS3 varied with concentration and with time of exposure. Approximately 5% of the 45Ca2+ passively loaded into the SR was released by 2 microM IPS3 in 150 ms, 10% was released by 10 microM IPS3 in 100 ms, and 20% was released by 50 microM IPS3 in 20 ms. Released 45Ca2+ reached a limiting value of approximately 30% of the original load at a concentration of 10 microM IP3 or 25-50 microM IPS3. Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) was studied by elevating the extravesicular Ca2+ while maintaining a constant 5-mM intravesicular 45Ca2+. An increase in extravesicular Ca2+ from 7 nM to 10 microM resulted in a release of 55 +/- 7% of the passively loaded 45Ca2+ in 150 ms. CICR was blocked by 5 mM Mg2+ or by 10 microM ruthenium red, but was not blocked by heparin at concentrations as high as 2.5 mg/ml. In contrast, the release produced by IPS3 was not affected by Mg2+ or ruthenium red but was totally inhibited by heparin at concentrations of 2.5 mg/ml or lower. The release produced by 10 microM Ca2+ plus 25 microM IPS3 was similar to that produced by 10 microM Ca2+ alone and suggested that IP3-sensitive channels were present in SR vesicles also containing ruthenium red-sensitive Ca2+ release channels. The junctional SR of rabbit skeletal muscle may thus have two types of intracellular Ca2+ releasing channels displaying fast activation kinetics, namely, IP3-sensitive and Ca(2+)-sensitive channels.

Abstract
Molecular, biochemical and physiological evidence for the existence of releasable Ca2+ stores in neurons is strong. There are two separate molecules that function as release channels from those Ca2+ stores, the RyanR and InsP3R, and both have multiple regulatory sites for positive and negative control. Perhaps most intriguing is the biphasic, concentration-dependent action of cytosolic Ca2+ on both channels, first to stimulate release then, at higher concentration, to depress release. Whether the InsP3R and RyanR channels regulate Ca2+ release from different or identical functional compartments will need to be defined for each neuron type and perhaps even for each intracellular region within neurons since the evidence for functional separation of stores is mixed. The identification of Ca2+ storage and releasing capacity throughout all subcellular regions of neurons and the increasing evidence for a role for Ca2+ stores in neuronal plasticity suggests that the further characterization of the functional properties of Ca2+ stores will be an increasingly important and expanding area of interest in neurobiology.

Abstract
A study has been made of the mechanism by which the injection of ATPNa2 stimulates the ouabain-insensitive Na efflux in fibers from the barnacle, Balanus nubilus. The results of this study are as follows: ATPNa2 is found to be a more potent effector of the Na efflux in unpoisoned fibers than ATPMg on an equimolar basis, but not more potent than ADPNa2. In ouabain-poisoned fibers ATPNa2 and ATPMg are equipotent but the former is more potent than ADPNa2. The magnitude of the response to ATPNa2 injection into ouabain-poisoned fibers depends on: (i) the ouabain concentration used; (ii) the concentration of ATPNa2 injected, and (iii) the external Ca2+ concentration. Ouabain is without effect when it is applied at the time of ATPNa2 injection. Responsiveness to ouabain, however, is found to return if the glycoside is applied after complete decay of the response to ATP. Under these conditions, the effect of ouabain in fibers injected with ATPNa2 is significantly less than in fibers injected with ATPMg. Preinjection of EGTA in high concentrations fails to reduce the size of the response to ATPNa2 injection. Injection of Mg2+ following peak stimulation by ATP almost completely reverses the response. The response to Mg2+ is concentration-dependent. Ryanodine but not neomycin reduces the response to ATP. ATP gamma S is not as effective as ATPNa2. Nor is AMP-PNP consistently as effective as ATPNa2. Collectively, these results support the hypothesis that the response of the Na efflux to ATPNa2 injection involves the operation of the putative Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger in the reverse mode and that a raised Cai2+ is not an absolute requirement. They also strongly suggest that two other governing factors are the Na+ gradient across the sarcolemma and the myoplasmic pMg. Mg2+ seems to act as an inhibitor.

Abstract
1. The modulation by Ca2+ of the activation by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) of Ca2+ channels present in native sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes from frog skeletal muscle was studied after channel incorporation into planar phospholipid bilayers in the presence of Ca2+ or Ba2+ as current carrier species. 2. Channel activity expressed as fractional open time (Po) was low (less than or equal to 0.15) in the presence of varying free Ca2+ concentrations bathing the myoplasmic face of the channel (cis side), and did not increase significantly between 0.01 and 30 microM-Ca2+. 3. Channel activation mediated by IP3 could be elicited from free Ca2+ levels similar to those of resting skeletal muscle (about 0.1 microM) and was found to be strongly regulated by the free Ca2+ concentration present at the myoplasmic moiety of the channel. 4. Channel activation by 10 microM-IP3 depended on the Ca2+ concentration on the cis side. Po reached a maximum between pCa 7.0 and 6.0, but decreased at higher concentrations of free Ca2+. Thus, Ca2+ exerted a modulatory influence on IP3-mediated activation in a concentration range where the channel was insensitive to Ca2+. 5. The results indicate that Ca2+ ions act as modulators of IP3 efficacy to open the channel. This could arise from an interaction of Ca2+ with the channel gating mechanism or with the agonist binding site.

Abstract
The binding properties of [3H]ryanodine, a specific ligand of the receptor complex that forms the Ca2+ release channel of sarcoplasmic reticulum, were studied in normal (N) and malignant hyperthermia-susceptible (MH) human skeletal muscle. Integrity of the solubilized ryanodine receptor was demonstrated by single-channel recordings in planar bilayers and by the changes produced by activators and inhibitors of the Ca2+ release channel on the binding properties of [3H]ryanodine. N and MH receptors were capable of binding [3H]ryanodine in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. Scatchard analysis showed that a single binding site for [3H]ryanodine was present in either N or MH muscle. Binding affinity was approximately the same in N and MH (Kd approximately 7 nM), when the Ca2+ concentration was greater than 30 microM. At 0.3 microM Ca2+, MH receptors displayed a higher affinity for [3H]ryanodine (Kd = 4.1 +/- 1.0 nM) than N receptors (Kd = 7.1 +/- 0.8 nM). The presence of a single Kd for [3H]ryanodine in MH muscle, distinct from that of N muscle, indicated that MH muscle does not have detectable levels of N receptors. Ca2+ dependence of [3H]ryanodine binding further suggested that MH receptors had a higher affinity for Ca2+ (Kd[Ca2+] = 120 +/- 50 nM) than N receptors (Kd[Ca2+] = 250 +/- 80 nM). Caffeine increased [3H]ryanodine binding at submicromolar [Ca2+], and the effect was larger in MH. Apparent affinity constants for caffeine were 13 +/- 1.8 mM in N and 6 +/- 0.8 mM in MH receptors. Evidently, the ryanodine receptor of MH-susceptible human skeletal muscle has an unusually high sensitivity to Ca2+ which is augmented by caffeine.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The Ca(2+)-gated Ca2+ release channel of aortic sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was partially purified and reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers. Canine and porcine aorta microsomal protein fractions were solubilized in the detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethyl-ammonio]-1-propane sulphonate (CHAPS) in the presence and absence of 3[H]-ryanodine and centrifuged through linear sucrose gradients. A single 3[H]-ryanodine receptor peak with an apparent sedimentation coefficient of 30 s was obtained. Upon reconstitution into planar lipid bilayers, the unlabelled 30 s protein fraction induced the formation of a Ca(2+)- and monovalent-ion-conducting channel (110 pS in 100 mM Ca2+, 360 pS in 250 mM K+). The channel was activated by micromolar Ca2+, modulated by millimolar adenosine triphosphate, Mg2+ and the Ca(2+)-releasing drug caffeine, and inhibited by micromolar ruthenium red. Micro- to millimolar concentrations of the plant alkaloid ryanodine induced a permanently closed state of the channel. Our results suggest that smooth muscle SR contains a Ca(2+)-gated Ca2+ release pathway, with properties similar to those observed for the skeletal and cardiac ryanodine receptor/Ca2+ release channel complexes.

Abstract
The maintenance of a low cytosolic free-Ca2+ concentration, ([Ca2+]i) is a common feature of all eukaryotic cells. For this purpose a variety of mechanisms have developed during evolution to ensure the buffering of Ca2+ in the cytoplasm, its extrusion from the cell and/or its accumulation within organelles. Opening of plasma membrane channels or release of Ca2+ from intracellular pools leads to elevation of [Ca2+]i; as a result, Ca2+ binds to cytosolic proteins which translate the changes in [Ca2+]i into activation of a number of key cellular functions. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive description of the structural and functional characteristics of the various components of [Ca2+]i homeostasis in eukaryotes.
