1Department of Molecular Biophysics and Physiology, Rush University, Chicago, IL 60612 2Departamento de Biofísica, Universidad de la República, Facultad de Medicina, Montevideo, Uruguay abstract Ca2 and Mg2 are important mediators and regulators of intracellular Ca2 signaling in muscle. The effects of changes of cytosolic [Ca2] or [Mg2] on elementary Ca2 release events were determined, as functions of concentration and time, in single fast-twitch permeabilized fibers of rat and frog. Ca2 sparks were identified and their parameters measured in confocal images of fluo-4 fluorescence. Solutions with different [Ca2] or [Mg2] were rapidly exchanged while imaging. Faster and spatially homogeneous changes of [Ca2](reaching peaks 100 M) were achieved by photolysing Ca NP-EGTA with laser flashes. In both species, incrementing cytosolic [Ca2] caused a steady, nearly proportional increase in spark frequency, reversible upon [Ca2] reduction. A greater change in spark frequency, usually transient, followed sudden increases in [Ca2] after a lag of 100 ms or more. The nonlinearity, lag, and other features of this delayed effect suggest that it requires increase of [Ca2] inside the SR. In the frog only, increases in cytosolic [Ca2] often resulted, after a lag, in sparks that propagated transversally. An increase in [Mg2] caused a fall of spark frequency, but with striking species differences. In the rat, but not the frog, sparks were observed at 4–40 mM [Mg2]. Reducing [Mg2] below 2 mM, which should enable the RyR channel’s activation (CICR) site to bind Ca2, caused progressive increase in spark frequency in the frog, but had no effect in the rat. Spark propagation and enhancement by sub-mM Mg2 are hallmarks of CICR. Their absence in the rat suggests that CICR requires RyR3 para-junctional clusters, present only in the frog. The observed frequency of sparks corresponds to a channel open probability of 10 7 in the frog or 10 8 in the rat. Together with the failure of photorelease to induce activation directly, this indicates a basal inhibition of channels in situ. It is proposed that relief of this inhibition could be the mechanism by which increased SR load increases spark frequency.
