Journal ArticleDOI
Phospholamban Oligomerization, Quaternary Structure, and Sarco(endo)plasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase Binding Measured by Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer in Living Cells
TL;DR: Overall, the data suggest that the PLB pentamer adopts a “pinwheel” shape in cell membranes, as opposed to a more compact “bellflower” conformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Location Matters: Clarifying the Concept of Nuclear and Cytosolic CaMKII Subtypes
TL;DR: These studies demonstrate that CaMKII&dgr;B and &d Gr;C are not exclusively restricted to the nucleus and cytosol and that spatial and functional specificity in CaMK II&d gr; activation is elicited by mobilization of different Ca2+ stores rather than by compartmentalized subtype localization.
signaling in cardiac myocyte excitation- transcription coupling
Journal ArticleDOI
Uncoupling cation effects on cardiac contractility and sarcolemmal Ca2+ binding.
Donald M. Bers,Glenn A. Langer +1 more
TL;DR: It is reasonable to propose that theCa2+ bound to these sarcolemmal sites plays an important role in controlling the amount of Ca2+ available to the myofilaments and thus myocardial contractility.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanism of ryanodine action in rabbit ventricular muscle evaluated with Ca-selective microelectrodes and rapid cooling contractures.
TL;DR: The results suggest that in the presence of ryanodine the sarcoplasmic reticulum can still take up Ca, but that it also loses this Ca very rapidly at the onset of rest.
