High resolution structure of the membrane embedded skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The type 1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1)/calcium release channel on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is required for skeletal muscle excitation-contraction coupling and is the largest known ion channel, comprised of four 565 kDa protomers. Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryoEM) studies of the RyR have primarily used detergent to solubilize the channel, though a recent study resolved the structure with limited resolution in nanodiscs 1 . In the present study we have used cryoEM to solve high-resolution structures of the channel in liposomes using a gel-filtration approach with on-column detergent removal to form liposomes and incorporate the channel simultaneously, a method that improved the incorporation rate by more than 20-fold compared to a dialysis-based approach. In conjunction with new direct-detection cameras, this allowed us to resolve the structure of the channel in the closed and open states at 3.36 and 3.98 Å, respectively. This method offers validation for detergent-based structures of the RyR and lays the groundwork for studies utilizing an electrochemical gradient mimicking the native environment, such as that of the SR, where Ca 2+ concentrations are millimolar in the lumen and nanomolar in the cytosol of the cell at rest.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
