RYANODINE (cas 15662-33-6) (Ryd) irreversibly targets ryanodine receptors (RyRs), a family of intracellular calcium release channels essential for many cellular processes ranging from muscle contraction to learning and memory. Little is known of the atomistic details about how Ryd binds to RyRs. In this study, we used all-atom molecular dynamics simulations with both enhanced and bidirectional sampling to gain direct insights into how Ryd interacts with major residues in RyRs that were experimentally determined to be critical for its binding. We found that the pyrrolic ring of Ryd displays preference for the R4892AGGG-F4921 residues in the cavity of RyR1, which explain the effects of the corresponding mutations in RyR2 in experiments. Particularly, the mutant Q4933A (or Q4863A in RyR2) critical for both the gating and Ryd binding not only has significantly less interaction with Ryd than the wild-type, but also yields more space for Ryd and water molecules in the cavity. These results describe clear binding modes of Ryd in the RyR cavity and offer structural mechanisms explaining functional data collected on RyR blockade.
