Intramolecular ex vivo Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) of Dihydropyridine Receptor (DHPR) β1a Subunit Reveals Conformational Change Induced by RYR1 in Mouse Skeletal Myotubes.

The dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) β1a subunit is essential for skeletal muscle excitation-contraction coupling, but the structural organization of β1a as part of the macromolecular DHPR-ryanodine receptor type I (RyR1) complex is still debatable. We used fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRE...
