DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In excitable cells, a small Ca2+ influx through the surface membrane may activate intracellular Ca2+ release channels called ryanodine receptors (RyRs) on the endoplasmic or sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). The resulting RyR-mediated Ca2+ release regulates many cellular processes like contraction, secretion, synaptic transmission, fertilization, nuclear pore regulation and transcription. Here, the case in point is cardiac muscle. In these cells, surface depolarization activates an L-type Ca2+ channel generating a small Ca2+ flux which activates type-2 ryanodine receptors (RyR2) on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Activation of multiple RyR2 channels at discrete sites on the SR generates localized Ca2+ release events called sparks. In cells, sparks are the elemental unit of RyR2-mediated Ca2+ release. Recruitment and summation of many sparks generates the global Ca2+ release phenomena that drive cardiac contractility. The local control mechanisms that govern the RyR2-mediated spark are poorly understood. One of these mechanisms is local RyR2 Ca2+ activation, often referred to as Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR). CICR is an intuitively a self-reinforcing process whose "explosive" positive feedback (i.e., released Ca2+ should trigger further release) should ultimately empty the SR Ca2+ store. This does not happen in cells. Instead, CICR is precisely controlled indicating that some negative-feedback mechanism(s) must exist to counter the inherent positive feedback of CICR. Two cytosolic mechanisms, Ca2+-dependent inactivation and Ca2+-dependent adaptation, have been proposed to be the stabilizing negative feedback. It has also been proposed that the needed negative control may arise from RyR2 regulation by local [Ca2+] changes inside the SR. Delineating mechanisms that govern RyR2 local Ca2+ control is clearly essential to understanding the origin of the Ca2+ spark. This is our focus here and the following hypothesis will be tested. Single RyR2 channels are driven by multiple forms of cytosolic Ca2+ feedback (e.g., feed through, neighbor-induced & paired pulse facilitation). This is controlled/countered by a combination of lumenal negative control mechanisms (e.g., Ca2+-flux reduction, direct & indirect Ca2+ deactivation) to ultimately define the spatiotemporal nature of the Ca2+ spark. The specific aims are: Specific Aim #1: Define the cytosolic local Ca2+ positive feedback that drives the function of single RyR2 Ca2+ release channels. Specific Aim #2: Define lumenal Ca2+ negative control mechanisms that govern operation of single RyR2 Ca2+ release channels and ultimately the spatiotemporal nature of the Ca2+ spark.

描述（由申请人提供）：在可兴奋细胞中，通过表面膜的少量Ca2+内流可激活内质网或肌浆网（SR）上称为兰尼碱受体（RyR）的细胞内Ca2+释放通道。由此产生的RyR介导的Ca 2+释放调节许多细胞过程，如收缩、分泌、突触传递、受精、核孔调节和转录。在这里，恰当的例子是心肌。在这些细胞中，表面去极化激活L型Ca2+通道，产生小的Ca2+通量，其激活肌浆网（SR）上的2型兰尼碱受体（RyR2）。在SR上的离散位点处的多个RyR2通道的激活产生称为火花的局部化Ca2+释放事件。在细胞中，火花是RyR2介导的Ca2+释放的基本单位。许多火花的募集和总和产生驱动心脏收缩性的全局Ca2+释放现象。管理RyR2介导的火花的局部控制机制知之甚少。这些机制之一是局部RyR2 Ca2+激活，通常称为Ca2+诱导的Ca2+释放（CICR）。CICR是一个直观的自我强化过程，其“爆炸性”的正反馈（即，释放的Ca2+应触发进一步释放）应最终清空SR Ca2+库。这在细胞中不会发生。相反，CICR被精确地控制，这表明必须存在一些负反馈机制来对抗CICR固有的正反馈。两种胞质机制，Ca 2+依赖的失活和Ca 2+依赖的适应，已被认为是稳定的负反馈。也有人提出，所需的负控制可能会出现从RyR2的本地[Ca2+]的SR内的变化的监管。描绘机制，管理RyR2本地Ca2+控制显然是必不可少的理解起源的Ca2+火花。这是我们在这里的重点，下面的假设将被测试。单个RyR2通道由多种形式的胞质Ca 2+反馈（例如，馈通、相邻诱导和成对脉冲促进）。这是由内腔阴性控制机制（例如，Ca2+通量减少，直接和间接Ca2+失活），以最终定义Ca2+火花的时空性质。具体目标是：具体目标1：定义驱动单个RyR2 Ca2+释放通道功能的胞质局部Ca2+正反馈。具体目标#2：定义内腔Ca2+负控制机制，管理单一RyR2 Ca2+释放通道的操作，并最终的时空性质的Ca2+火花。
