The cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR) controls Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) during excitation-contraction coupling. Three phosphorylation sites have been identified: Serine-(S)2808, S2814 and recently S2030. We measured phosphorylation with at least two different antibodies per site and demonstrate that for S2808 results were highly antibody-dependent and two out of three S2808 antibodies did not accurately report phosphorylation level. The RyR was substantially phosphorylated in quiescent rat cardiomyocytes at S2808 and less so at S2814, but appeared to be unphosphorylated at S2030. Basal phosphorylation at S2808/S2814 was maintained by a Ca2+ dependent kinase other than Ca2+/Calmodulin-dependent kinase (CaMKII). During stimulation with Isoproterenol S2808 was phosphorylated by protein kinase A (PKA) and S2814 was phosphorylated by CaMKII. Phosphatase 1 appears to be the main phosphatase dephosphorylating S2808/S2814, but phosphatase 2a may also dephosphorylate S2814. RyR phosphorylation is complex, but important in understanding RyR functional modulation.

Background: Congenital anomalies (CAs) encompass a wide spectrum of structural and functional abnormalities during fetal development, commonly presenting at birth. Identifying the cause of CA is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Using a target-gene approach, genetic variants could be found in certain CA patients.

Objectives: We aimed to classify genetic variants in RYR1 and CACNA1S associated with malignant hyperthermia using biobank genotyping data in patients exposed to triggering anesthetics without malignant hyperthermia phenotype.
Methods: We identified individuals who underwent surgery and were exposed to triggering anesthetics without malignant hyperthermia phenotype and who had RYR1 or CACNA1S genotyping data available in our biobank. We classified all variants in the cohort using a Bayesian framework of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association of Molecular Pathologists guidelines for variant classification and updated the posterior probabilities from this model with the new information from our biobank cohort.

Ion channels play a crucial role in cardiac functions, and their activities exhibit dynamic changes during heart development. However, the precise function of ion channels in human heart development remains elusive. In this study, we utilized human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) as a model to mimic the process of human embryonic heart development.

Background And Purpose: Pathogenic variants in the RYR1 gene have been associated with a variety of conditions, ranging from congenital myopathy to adult manifestations. Our aim was to characterize the p.Leu2286Val variant in 17 Basque patients, to accurately determine its correlation with clinical features and to explore the possible founder effect of the variant.

Membrane contact sites (MCSs) are specialized regions where two or more organelle membranes come into close apposition, typically separated by only 10-30 nm, while remaining distinct and unfused. These sites play crucial roles in cellular homeostasis, signaling, and metabolism. This review focuses on ion channels, transporters, and receptors localized to MCSs, with particular emphasis on those associated with the plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
