[Kagawa H] pka ryr-1, for ryanodine receptor. 46 exons, encodes 5071 aa predicted protein. e540 (Unc-68) is intron 21 splice acceptor mutation, probable null. Weak allele kh30 (pka kra-1) exhibits ketamine-dependent convulsions followed by paralysis, mutation is S1444N change at putative PKC phosphorylation site.
[C.elegansII] e540 : weak kinker, slow, thin; slight shrinker; head region but not body resistant to 1 mM levamisole, ouabain. ES3. ME2. OA>15: x14, x24, e932, e2313,s92spo, r1162 (presumed null, deletes all TM domains) etc.(all resemble e540). Cloned: 30 kb gene, 43 exons, encodes 4902 aa ryanodine receptor (43% identity to mammalian cardiac RYR). [Brenner 1974; Lewis et al. 1980; HK; TR]
[C.elegansII] kh30 : semidominant convulsive behavior in 30mM ketamine or other NMDA antagonists; recessive cs Unc; variable motility; weakly resistant to cholinergic agonists, ouabain;normal muscle morphology. [HK]

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionunc-68 encodes a ryanodine receptor ortholog that is expressed in body-wall muscle cells and is required for normal body tension and locomotion; unc-68 mutants are flaccid, sluggish, and resistant to ryanodine, but have normal muscle ultrastructure; UNC-68 is dispensable for excitation-contraction coupling itself, but may amplify its calcium signals; the unc-68/kra-1(kh30) mutation is an S1444N substitution at a putative protein kinase C phosphorylation site; UNC-68 reduced unc-103(sy557)-induced spicule protraction by one half; unc-68 is orthologous to the human genes RYR1 (OMIM:180901, mutated in malignant hyperthermia and central core disease), RYR2 (OMIM:180902, mutated in stress-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia), and RYR3 (OMIM:180903).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002536

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and ryanodine-sensitive calcium-release channel activity. Involved in locomotion; positive regulation of programmed cell death; and protein localization to organelle. Located in I band and sarcoplasmic reticulum. Expressed in body wall musculature; intestine; neurons; and non-striated muscle. Used to study congenital myopathy 1A and malignant hyperthermia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia 1; intracranial vasospasm; and muscle tissue disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human RYR1 (ryanodine receptor 1); RYR2 (ryanodine receptor 2); and RYR3 (ryanodine receptor 3).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
