Figure 4.

Cytosolic Ca2+ regulates the effect of luminal Ca2+ on the RYR2 channel. (A) The [Ca2+]L dependence of POmax in the presence of 180 and 410 nM [Ca2+]C (open and black circles, respectively). Solid lines are Hill equation fits obtained by fitting the whole dataset at 180 and 410 nM [Ca2+]C simultaneously when nH as a fitted parameter was shared, whereas EC50 was free. The dotted line represents the data obtained for 100 nM [Ca2+]C that are replotted from Fig. 2 B (middle). (B) The cytosolic Ca2+ dependence of EC50 for luminal Ca2+. Data are presented as average ± SEM. (C) The values of tO0 determined in the absence of ATP on 30 s intervals for 100 nM and 410 nM [Ca2+]C (open and black circles, respectively) are displayed as a function of [Ca2+]L. (D) The values of tO determined in the presence of 10 mM ATP on 30-s intervals for 100 and 410 nM [Ca2+]C (open and black circles, respectively) are displayed as a function of [Ca2+]L. Error bars in C and D are shown only when the SEM is larger than symbol size.
