See related article, pages 391–398 During each heart beat a transient rise in [Ca2+]i links the electrical signal to the actual contraction. Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is the major source of this Ca2+ transient and occurs through the ryanodine receptor, RyR. The RyR is a Ca2+-activated channel, responding to Ca2+ influx, commonly referred to as the trigger Ca2+, predominantly through the L-type Ca2+ channel. The Ca2+ available in the SR is the SR Ca2+ content or Ca2+ load. The SR Ca2+ content depends to a large extent on the Ca2+ uptake into the SR by SERCA, regulated by phospholamban, and also on the balance of Ca2+ fluxes across the sarcolemma. For the latter, the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger is the major efflux pathway, generating an inward current. Alterations in [Ca2+]i handling have been implicated in contractile dysfunction in heart failure, and several proteins are involved such as SERCA, phospholamban and the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, which would all influence the available Ca2+ in the SR. When Marks et al reported in 2000 that hyperphosphorylation of the ryanodine receptor (RyR) could underlie abnormal calcium cycling in heart failure,1 it was the start of a new area of research that has since sparked a lot of debate. Increased phosphorylation was proposed to lead to reduced binding of the stabilizing protein, FKBP12.6 or calstabin, and result in increased channel openings or ‘leaky’ RyRs. This will lead to abnormal release of Ca2+ in diastole as well as abnormal gating during excitation-contraction coupling. The abnormal release in diastole could, by depleting the sarcoplasmic reticulum, also reduce systolic Ca2+ levels. At the same time, a diastolic …
