Junctin is a 26 kDa membrane protein that binds to calsequestrin, triadin, and ryanodine receptors (RyRs) within the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum of calcium release units. The sequence of junctin includes a short N-terminal cytoplasmic domain a single transmembrane domain, and a highly charged C-terminal domain located in the sarcoplasmic reticulum lumen. Dog and mouse junctins are highly conserved at the transmembrane domains, but the luminal domains are more divergent. To probe the contribution of junctin to the architecture of calcium release units in heart, we engineered transgenic mice overexpressing canine junctin and examined the left ventricular myocardium by electron microscopy. Overall architecture of calcium release units is similar in control myocardium and in myocardium overexpressing junctin by 5–10-fold. In both myocardia, junctional SR cisternae are closely associated with exterior membranes (plasmalemma and transverse tubules). The cisternae are flat; they contain a string of calsequestrin beads and are lined by a row of feet, or RyRs, on the side facing the exterior membranes. T tubule surface density, measured as the perimeter of T tubule profiles v area of section, is the same in transgenic and control myocardia (305 v 289 nm/nm2). Three changes affecting the junctional SR architecture are apparent in the myocardium overexpressing junctin. One is a more tightly zippered appearance of the junctional SR cisternae. The width of the junctional SR is narrower and less variable in overexpressing than in control myocardium and the calsequestrin content is more compact. A second change is the extension of zippered junctional SR domains to non-junctional regions, which we term ««frustrated»» junctional SR. A third change is an increase in the extent of association between SR and T tubules. In junctin overexpressing myocardium junctional SR cisternae cover ≡45% of the surface of all T tubule profiles, while in control myocardium the coverage is ≡30%. Junctional associations between SR and T tubules are increased in size. We conclude that the increase in junctin expression affects the packing of calsequestrin in the junctional SR and facilitates the association of SR and T tubules.
