Function
RYR2_MOUSE Calcium channel that mediates the release of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the cytoplasm and thereby plays a key role in triggering cardiac muscle contraction. Aberrant channel activation can lead to cardiac arrhythmia. In cardiac myocytes, calcium release is triggered by increased Ca(2+) levels due to activation of the L-type calcium channel CACNA1C. The calcium channel activity is modulated by formation of heterotetramers with RYR3. Required for cellular calcium ion homeostasis. Required for embryonic heart development.[1] [2] [3] [4]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) causes sudden death in young adult patients without structural or ischemic heart disease. Most IVF cases are sporadic and some patients present with short-coupled torsade de pointes, the genetics of which are poorly understood. A man who had a first syncope at the age of 35 presented with frequent short-coupled premature ventricular beats with bursts of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and then died suddenly. By exome sequencing, we identified three rare variants: p.I784F in the SPRY1 of the ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2), p.A96S in connexin 40 (Cx40), reported to affect electrical coupling and cardiac conduction, and a nonsense p.R244X in the cardiac-specific troponin I-interacting kinase (TNNI3K). We assessed intracellular Ca(2+) handling in WT and mutant human RYR2 transfected HEK293 cells by fluorescent microscopy and an enhanced store overload-induced Ca(2+) release in response to cytosolic Ca(2+) was observed in RyR2-I784F cells. In addition, crystal structures and thermal melting temperatures revealed a conformational change in the I784F-SPRY1 domain compared to the WT-domain. The novel RyR2-I784F variant in SPRY1 domain causes a leaky channel under non-stress conditions. The presence of several variants affecting Ca(2+) handling and cardiac conduction suggests a possible oligogenic origin for the ectopies originating from Purkinje fibres.
