Control of dual isoforms of Ca2+ release channels in muscle
Here we compare excitation-contraction coupling in single muscle cells of frogs and rats. Because amphibians have isoform 3 (or b) of the ryanodine receptor/Ca2+ release channel, in addition to 1 (a), which is also present in the mammal, any extra feature present in the frog may in principle be attr...

Here we compare excitation-contraction coupling in single muscle cells of frogs and rats. Because amphibians have isoform 3 (or b) of the ryanodine receptor/Ca2+ release channel, in addition to 1 (a), which is also present in the mammal, any extra feature present in the frog may in principle be attributed to isoform 3. Ca2+ release under voltage clamp depolarization has a peak and a steady phase in both taxonomic classes, but the peak is more marked in the frog, where the ratio of amplitudes of the two phases is voltage-dependent. This dependence is a hallmark of CICR. Confocal imaging identified Ca2+ sparks in the frog, but not in the voltage-clamped rat cells.
