Abstract

The ryanodine receptor (RyR) is an ion channel composed of four identical subunits mediating calcium efflux from the endo/sarcoplasmic reticulum of excitable and non-excitable cells. We present several lines of evidence indicating that the RyR2 amino-terminus is capable of self-association. A combination of yeast two-hybrid screens, co-immunoprecipitation analysis, chemical cross-linking and gel filtration assays collectively demonstrate that an RyR2 N-terminal fragment possesses the intrinsic ability to oligomerize, enabling apparent tetramer formation. Interestingly, N-terminus tetramerization mediated by endogenous disulfide bond formation occurs in native RyR2, but notably not in RyR1. Disruption of N-terminal inter-subunit interactions within RyR2 results in dysregulation of channel activation at diastolic Ca2+ 12 concentrations from ryanodine binding and single channel measurements. Our findings suggest that the N-terminus interactions mediating tetramer assembly are involved in RyR channel closure, identifying a critical role for this structural association in the dynamic regulation of intracellular Ca2+ 15 release.
