-release dependence on levels of DHPR-activation. (A–D) Predicted time course of [Ca2+(t)]js and SR Ca2+-release flux (t) at the maximal level of DHPR-activation and when the percentage of cRyR1s with DHPR-activation-dependent reduction of inhibition at the I1 sites is decreased (B) to 50%, (C) to 30%, and (D) to 10%. The graded reduction of Ca2+ release when the fraction of DHPR-activated cRyR1s is decreased at lower levels of DHPR-activation shows that the regenerative Ca2+ release is under DHPR control and implicitly under voltage control.
