More than 80 mutations in the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor gene have been found to be associated with autosomal dominant forms of malignant hyperthermia and central core disease, and with recessive forms of multi-minicore disease. Studies on the functional effects of pathogenic dominant mutations have shown that they mostly affect intracellular Ca2+ homoeostasis, either by rendering the channel hypersensitive to activation (malignant hyperthermia) or by altering the amount of Ca2+ released subsequent to physiological or pharmacological activation (central core disease). In the present paper, we show, for the first time, data on the functional effect of two recently identified recessive ryanodine receptor 1 amino acid substitutions, P3527S and V4849I, as well as that of R999H, another substitution that was identified in two siblings that were affected by multi-minicore disease. We studied the intracellular Ca2+ homoeostasis of EBV (Epstein–Barr virus)-transformed lymphoblastoid cells from the affected patients, their healthy relatives and control individuals. Our results show that the P3527S substitution in the homozygous state affected the amount of Ca2+ released after pharmacological activation with 4-chloro-m-cresol and caffeine, but did not affect the size of the thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+ stores. The other substitutions had no effect on either the size of the intracellular Ca2+ stores, or on the amount of Ca2+ released after ryanodine receptor activation; however, both the P3527S and V4849I substitutions had a small but significant effect on the resting Ca2+ concentration.

Cryoelectron microscopy and mutational analyses have shown that type 1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1) amino acid residues RyR1-E3893, -E3967, and -T5001 are critical for Ca2+-mediated activation of skeletal muscle Ca2+ release channel. De novo missense mutation RyR1-Q3970K in the secondary binding sphere of Ca2+ was reported in association with central core disease (CCD) in a 2-yr-old boy. Here, we characterized recombinant RyR1-Q3970K mutant by cellular Ca2+ release measurements, single-channel recordings, and computational methods. Caffeine-induced Ca2+ release studies indicated that RyR1-Q3970K formed caffeine-sensitive, Ca2+-conducting channel in HEK293 cells. However, in single-channel recordings, RyR1-Q3970K displayed low Ca2+-dependent channel activity and greatly reduced activation by caffeine or ATP. A RyR1-Q3970E mutant corresponds to missense mutation RyR2-Q3925E associated with arrhythmogenic syndrome in cardiac muscle. RyR1-Q3970E also formed caffeine-induced Ca2+ release in HEK293 cells and exhibited low activity in the presence of the activating ligand Ca2+ but, in contrast to RyR1-Q3970K, was activated by ATP and caffeine in single-channel recordings. Computational analyses suggested distinct structural rearrangements in the secondary binding sphere of Ca2+ of the two mutants, whereas the interaction of Ca2+ with directly interacting RyR1 amino acid residues Glu3893, Glu3967, and Thr5001 was only minimally affected. We conclude that RyR1-Q3970 has a critical role in Ca2+-dependent activation of RyR1 and that a missense RyR1-Q3970K mutant may give rise to myopathy in skeletal muscle.

Mutations in the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor (RyR1) cause malignant hyperthermia (MH) and central core disease (CCD), whereas mutations in the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) lead to catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). Most disease-associated RyR1 and RyR2 mutations are located in the N-terminal, central, and C-terminal regions of the corresponding ryanodine receptor (RyR) isoform. An increasing body of evidence demonstrates that CPVT-associated RyR2 mutations enhance the propensity for spontaneous Ca2+ release during store Ca2+ overload, a process known as store overload-induced Ca2+ release (SOICR). Considering the similar locations of disease-associated RyR1 and RyR2 mutations in the RyR structure, we hypothesize that like CPVT-associated RyR2 mutations, MH/CCD-associated RyR1 mutations also enhance SOICR. To test this hypothesis, we determined the impact on SOICR of 12 MH/CCD-associated RyR1 mutations E2347-del, R2163H, G2434R, R2435L, R2435H, and R2454H located in the central region, and Y4796C, T4826I, L4838V, A4940T, G4943V, and P4973L located in the C-terminal region of the channel. We found that all these RyR1 mutations reduced the threshold for SOICR. Dantrolene, an acute treatment for MH, suppressed SOICR in HEK293 cells expressing the RyR1 mutants R164C, Y523S, R2136H, R2435H, and Y4796C. Interestingly, carvedilol, a commonly used β-blocker that suppresses RyR2-mediated SOICR, also inhibits SOICR in these RyR1 mutant HEK293 cells. Therefore, these results indicate that a reduced SOICR threshold is a common defect of MH/CCD-associated RyR1 mutations, and that carvedilol, like dantrolene, can suppress RyR1-mediated SOICR. Clinical studies of the effectiveness of carvedilol as a long-term treatment for MH/CCD or other RyR1-associated disorders may be warranted.
