From the Of the three divergent regions of
ryanodine receptors (RyRs), divergent region 3 (DR3) is the best
studied and is believed to be involved in excitation-contraction
coupling as well as in channel regulation by Ca2+ and
Mg2+. To gain insight into the structural basis of DR3
function, we have determined the location of DR3 in the
three-dimensional structure of RyR2. We inserted green fluorescent
protein (GFP) into the middle of the DR3 region after Thr-1874 in the
sequence. HEK293 cells expressing this GFP-RyR2 fusion protein,
RyR2T1874-GFP, were readily detected by their green
fluorescence, indicating proper folding of the inserted GFP.
RyR2T1874-GFP was further characterized functionally by
assays of Ca2+ release and [3H]ryanodine
binding. These analyses revealed that RyR2T1874-GFP functions as a caffeine- and ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+
release channel and displays Ca2+ dependence and
[3H]ryanodine binding properties similar to those of the
wild type RyR2. RyR2T1874-GFP was purified from cell
lysates in a single step by affinity chromatography using GST-FKBP12.6
as the affinity ligand. The three-dimensional structure of the purified
RyR2T1874-GFP was then reconstructed using cryoelectron
microscopy and single particle image analysis. Comparison of the
three-dimensional reconstructions of wild type RyR2 and
RyR2T1874-GFP revealed the location of the inserted GFP,
and hence the DR3 region, in one of the characteristic domains of RyR,
domain 9, in the clamp-shaped structure adjacent to the FKBP12 and
FKBP12.6 binding sites. COOH-terminal truncation analysis demonstrated
that a region between 1815 and 1855 near DR3 is essential for
GST-FKBP12.6 binding. These results provide a structural basis for the
role of the DR3 region in excitation-contraction coupling and in
channel regulation.
