Chem. 270, 22116-22118) suggested the hypothesis that skeletal muscle-type excitation-contraction coupling is regulated by two domains (activating and blocking) of the II-III loop of the dihydropyridine receptor alpha1 subunit. We investigated this hypothesis by examining conformational changes in the ryanodine receptor induced by synthetic peptides and by transverse tubular system (T-tubule) depolarization. Peptide A, corresponding to the Thr671-Leu690 region, rapidly changed the ryanodine receptor conformation from a blocked state (low fluorescence of the conformational probe, methyl coumarin acetamide, attached specifically to the ryanodine receptor) to an activated state (high methyl coumarin acetamide fluorescence) as T-tubule depolarization did. Peptide C, corresponding to the Glu724-Pro760 region, blocked both conformational changes induced by peptide A and T-tubule depolarization. Its ability to block peptide A-induced and depolarization-induced activation was considerably impaired by replacing the portion of peptide C corresponding to the Phe725-Pro742 region of the loop with cardiac muscle-type sequence. These results are consistent with the model that depolarization-induced activation of excitation-contraction coupling and blocking\/repriming are mediated by the peptide A region and the peptide C region (containing the critical Phe725-Pro742 sequence) of the II-III loop, respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOI: 10.1074\/jbc.274.12.7825 Authors: Y Saiki, Roque El-Hayek, Noriaki Ikemoto Abstract: Our previous study (El-Hayek, R., Antoniu, B., Wang, J.
