Abstract
We developed a method for ex vivo receptor encapsulation and single-molecule imaging techniques from neuronal and cardiac tissues, illustrating the method’s broad applicability for measuring membrane receptor assembly. Ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) is a tetrameric Ca2+ channel governing intracellular Ca2+ dynamics, which is critical for muscle contraction. Employing GFP-RyR2 knock-in mice, we isolated individual receptor proteins in tissue-specific nanovesicles and performed subunit counting analyses to yield quantitative assessment of stoichiometric distributions across different organs. With this method, we explored the potential heterogeneity of brain-derived RyR2, which has been reported to form heteromeric assemblies with other ryanodine receptor isoforms.
