Model of Bin1 and Cav3-mediated ring formation and tubulation.

(1) Bin1 molecules polymerize into ring-like structures and recruit Cav3-positive caveolae. (2) Caveolae assemble into circular structures while additional caveolae accumulate at specific spots on the ring periphery. (3) Bin1-positive tubules emanate from regions where caveolae accumulate. (4-5) Tubules containing the α1s-subunit of the DHPR elongate from the central ring and start forming contacts with RyR1-positive SR cisternae. Caveolar material is either removed from the tubule or diffuses along the tubule membrane.

Time-lapse imaging of Cav3/Bin1 tubules extending from rings.

Gallery of consecutive frames from the time-lapse sequences of Cav3GFP expressing myotubes from figure 4 and movies 5 and 6. The gallery shows consecutive frames every 10s of a tubule emanating from a ring (see Video 5 and Video 6). Note the bright spot on the region of the ring from which the tubule emanates.
