| abstractText | The cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) is inhibited by calmodulin (CaM) and S100A1. Simultaneous substitution of three amino acid residues (W3587A, L3591D, F3603A; RyR2ADA) in the CaM binding domain of RyR2 results in loss of CaM inhibition at submicromolar (diastolic) and micromolar (systolic) Ca(2)(+), cardiac hypertrophy, and heart failure in Ryr2ADA/ADA mice. To address whether cardiac hypertrophy results from the elimination of CaM and S100A1 inhibition at diastolic or systolic Ca(2)(+), a mutant mouse was generated with a single RyR2 amino acid substitution (L3591D; RyR2D). Here we report that in single-channel measurements RyR2-L3591D isolated from Ryr2D/D hearts lost CaM inhibition at diastolic Ca(2)(+) only, whereas S100A1 regulation was eliminated at both diastolic and systolic Ca(2)(+). In contrast to the ~2-wk life span of Ryr2ADA/ADA mice, Ryr2D/D mice lived longer than 1 yr. Six-month-old Ryr2D/D mice showed a 9% increase in heart weight-to-body weight ratio, modest changes in cardiac morphology, and a twofold increase in atrial natriuretic peptide mRNA levels compared with wild type. After 4-wk pressure overload with transverse aortic constriction, heart weight-to-body weight ratio and atrial natriuretic peptide mRNA levels increased and echocardiography showed changes in heart morphology of Ryr2D/D mice compared with sham-operated mice. Collectively, the findings indicate that the single RyR2-L3591D mutation, which distinguishes the effects of diastolic and systolic Ca(2)(+), alters heart size and cardiac function to a lesser extent in Ryr2D/D mice than the triple mutation in Ryr2ADA/ADA mice. They further suggest that CaM inhibition of RyR2 at systolic Ca(2)(+) is important for maintaining normal cardiac function. |
