兰尼碱受体(ryanodine receptor, RyR)是位于肌浆网膜上的细胞内Ca2+释放通道,在骨骼肌和心肌兴奋收缩偶联等生理过程中发挥重要作用。随着单粒子冷冻电镜技术的应用以及数据分析能力的提高,近期来自中国、美国以及德国的3个课题组分别获得了整体分辨率为3.8Å (1Å=10-10m)、4.8Å和6.1Å的高清晰RyR1结构图片,相关研究同时发表于2015年第1期的Nature上,是近年来RyR结构及其门控研究的重要进展。RyR1为相对分子质量>2200000的同源四聚体离子通道,主要包括由NTD、SPRY、P1、P2、B-sol以及C-sol等结构域组成的胞质区和由S1~S6、VSL以及CTD等结构域组成的通道区。Ca2+作为RyR1门控的主要影响因子,能够与胞质区EF-hand亚结构域结合,引起通道构象的变化并最终导致通道的开放。 |

Abstract: |
The ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are intracellular Ca2+ releasing channels on the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane and play a pivotal role in the excitation-contraction coupling of skeletal and cardiac muscles as well as other physiological processes. With the recent development of Cryo-EM and the improvement of data analysis technique, scientists from China, the United States and Germany have acquired high-quality RyR1 images at the total resolutions of 3.8 Å (1 Å=10-10 m), 4.8 Å and 6.1 Å, respectively, which have been published in the same issue of Nature in 2015. RyR1s are homotetrameric complexes with a molecular mass of more than 2200000, mainly containing a cytoplasmic region composed of NTD, SPRY, P1, P2, B-sol and C-sol domains and a channel region composed of S1-S6, VSL and CTD domains. As the most common factor affecting the condition of RyR1, Ca2+ is able to bind the EF-hand subdomain in the cytoplasmic region, which further causes the conformational change and finally leads to the channel opening. |
