CaMKII-dependent RyR2 phosphorylation reduces CaM affinity and causes SR Leak.
RyR2 phosphorylation by CaMKII induces a pathological (unzipped) conformation.
Dantrolene restores CaM binding affinity and quiets diastolic SR Ca leak.
Dantrolene & CaM shift pathological conformation back to physiological (normal).
A common RyR2 pathological state may occur in heart failure, ROS, and CaMKII.
