Osmolarity-Dependent Characteristics of [3H]Ryanodine Binding to Sarcoplasmic Reticulum1
Department of Pharmacology, Juntendo University School of Medicine Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113
While many reports have shown that Ca2+ alone causes ryanodine binding to the heavy fraction of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (HFSR), our results demonstrate that caffeine or ß, 
-methylene adenosine triphosphate (AMPOPCP) in addition to Ca2+ is necessary for ryanodine binding, although Ca2+ is indispensable for it. While clarifying the reasons for this discrepancy, we found that a high osmolarity of the reaction medium, but not ionic strength, is a crucial factor. In a hypertonic solution containing 1 M NaCl, Ca2+ alone causes a sizable extent of ryanodine binding. Caffeine and AMPOPCP independently stimulate it, unlike the case of 0.17 M KC1 (or NaCl) medium, in which they show a potentiating interaction. Ryanodine binding in the hypertonic solution was markedly enhanced not only as to the binding rate but also the extent. The Scatchard plot was linear, indicating a single class of homogeneous binding sites. The maximum number of binding sites as well as the affinity was also increased in 1 M NaCl-medium. The presence of AMPOPCP and/or caffeine did not affect the magnitudes of them so much, especially that of the affinity, in the hypertonic medium, as in the isotonic medium. The Ca2+ dependence of ryanodine binding in the stimulatory range was similar to that in 0.17 M KC1- (or NaCl-) medium. However, the very weak inhibition at high Ca2+ concentrations is in striking contrast to ryanodine binding in the isotonic medium. The stimulation due to a high osmolarity is distinct, as to the mechanism, from that due to AMPOPCP, caffeine, or temperature. The dissociation of [3H]ryanodine bound was also examined under various experimental conditions.
