1. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings were used to study voltage-dependent facilitation of Ca2+ currents and excessive Ca2+ tail current in skeletal myoballs cultured from wild-type and transgenic mice expressing a null mutation of the ryanodine receptor (RyR) type 1 (dyspedic myoballs). 2. Ca2+ current density in dyspedic myoballs was reduced by about 60% compared with wild-type cells, with dihydropyridine-binding capacity largely retained. 3. Strong and long-lasting depolarizations (+80 mV and 600 ms), which normally produce excessive tail currents upon repolarization in control cells, failed to do so in dyspedic myoballs. 4. Dyspedic myoballs also failed to produce both Ca2+ current facilitation and the left shift of the current-voltage (I-V) curve induced by paired-pulse stimulation. 5. We propose that excessive tail currents and facilitation arise from silent Ca2+ channels acting as the voltage sensors in excitation-contraction coupling.
