Megjegyzések:	Maurocalcine (MCa) ? isolated from the venom of the Scorpio Maurus Palmatus has been described as an extremely potent modulator of the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release channel (CRC/RyR). Using single channel bilayer electrophysiology and confocal laser scanning microscopy we have shown that MCa is capable of altering the open probability and the gating characteristics of CRC/RyR by inducing long lasting subconductance states (LLSS). LLSS can last for several seconds. In parallel MCa induces complex event of calcium release in line-scan images. Using mutants of MCa we have demonstrated that the surface charge and/or charge distribution is the most important single parameter of the MCa effect. Altering even a single amino acid which destroys the positively charged area overwhelmingly influences the effect of the toxin on CRC/RyR. The effectiveness of the mutants is roughly proportionally with the real distance from the critical 24 residue. Their effects on the isolated channel and on the calcium release events were between those of the wild type and the ineffective Arg24Ala mutant.

Cím:	Charged surface area of maurocalcine determines its interaction with the skeletal ryanodine receptor / Balazs Lukacs, Monika Sztretye, Janos Almassy, Sandor Sarkozi, Beatrix Dienes, Kamel Mabrouk, Cecilia Simut, Laszlo Szabo, Peter Szentesi, Michel De Waard, Michel Ronjat, Istvan Jona, Laszlo Csernoch

Megjegyzések:	The 33 amino acid scorpion toxin maurocalcine (MCa) has been shown to modify the gating of the skeletal-type ryanodine receptor (RyR1). Here we explored the effects of MCa and its mutants ([Ala(8)]MCa, [Ala(19)]MCa, [Ala(20)]MCa, [Ala(22)]MCa, [Ala(23)]MCa, and [Ala(24)]MCa) on RyR1 incorporated into artificial lipid bilayers and on elementary calcium release events (ECRE) in rat and frog skeletal muscle fibers. The peptides induced long-lasting subconductance states (LLSS) on RyR1 that lasted for several seconds. However, their average length and frequency were decreased if the mutation was placed farther away in the 3D structure from the critical (24)Arg residue. The effect was strongly dependent on the direction of the current through the channel. If the direction was similar to that followed by calcium during release, the peptides were 8- to 10-fold less effective. In fibers long-lasting calcium release events were observed after the addition of the peptides. The average length of these events correlated well with the duration of LLSS. These data suggest that the effect of the peptide is governed by the large charged surface formed by residues Lys(20), Lys(22), Arg(23), Arg(24), and Lys(8). Our observations also indicate that the results from bilayer experiments mimic the in situ effects of MCa on RyR1.
