Figure 3.

CaM binding–deficient RyR1 mutants respond normally to both electrical stimulation and 4-cmc. (A) Representative traces for dyspedic, RyR1-, and L3624D-expressing myotubes. Arrows indicate the beginning of a train of electrical stimuli (30 s, 20-ms pulses of 8 V at 0.5 Hz). The light gray bars (60 s) define periods of 10 mM caffeine application and black bars (60 s) define periods of 500 μM 4-cmc application. (Insets) The final electrically evoked Ca2+ transient from each train is shown on an expanded scale (scale bars: 0.2 ΔRatio and 0.2 s shown for RyR1 applies to each inset). (B) Average peak response to 4-cmc (ΔRatio = R4-cmc − Rbaseline, *, P < 0.001) for uninjected dyspedic myotubes, RyR1-expressing myotubes, low and high caffeine–responsive L3624D-expressing myotubes, and W3620A-expressing myotubes. Number of experiments is given in parentheses above each bar.
