A model to show how zinc may regulate RyR2-mediated sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release. Physiological conditions: During the resting phase of the cardiac cycle RyR2 is closed as the cytosolic [Ca2+] is sub-activating (100 nM). The normal trigger for RyR2 activation during systole is a transient rise in [Ca2+] (≥ 1 µM). Zn2+-dyshomeostasis: If the intracellular [Zn2+] rises >1 nM, the dependency on Ca2+ for RyR2 openings is removed and Zn2+ becomes the activating ligand. This leads to abnormally active channels.
