Coupled-Clock Pacemaker System becomes Dysfunctional with Aging

TL;DR: A deterioration in intrinsic Ca2+-clock kinetics in aged SANC due to deficits in intrinsic SR Ca2-cycling and its response to a PDE stress appears to be involved in age-associated reduction in intrinsic resting AP-firing rate, and intrinsic HR in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

CaMKII-Dependent Phosphorylation Modulates Ca2+ Cycling in Sinoatrial Node Cells to Regulate Cardiac Pacemaker Function

TL;DR: Normal automaticity of rabbit sinoatrial node cells (SANC) is regulated by basal CaMKII-dependent phosphorylation, partly via modulation of intrinsic SR Ca2+ cycling, i.e. SR Ca 2+ pumping and release attained throughosphorylation of PLB and RyR.

Nucleic acid modules for expression and tagging of membrane proteins and methods of use

TL;DR: In this paper, the nucleic acid modules can be used to express any type of membrane protein and are particularly suited to the expression and tagging of Type I and Type III membrane proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spontaneous Beating of Rabbit Sinoatrial Node Cells Requires Basal Protein Kinase C Activity

TL;DR: The data show for the first time that the basal PKC-dependent activity regulates spontaneous SANC beating rate through modulation of LCRs from RyR, while IP3 receptors make no substantial contribution in this effect.
