Abstract

We conclude that tight coupling in the form of Ca2+ microdomains may also exist between ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ stores and mitochondria. These data indicate Ca2+ - induced Ca2+ release (CICR) involving the ryanodine receptor leads to large elevations of [Ca2+]m. CICR may therefore be important for the efficient elevation of [Ca2+]m in cells that contain RyRs.
