Cross-bridge cycling at rest and during activation. Turnover of myosin-bound ADP in permeabilized smooth muscle.
Single turnover experiments were performed on myosin-bound ADP by measuring the time course of incorporation of [3H]ADP following rapid formation of [3H]ATP by photolysis of caged [3H]ATP. Permeabilized rabbit portal veins were incubated in a solution at 20 degrees C with 1 mM MgATP, 20 mM phosphocreatine, 1 mg/ml creatine phosphokinase, and containing [14C]ATP and high specific activity caged ...
متن کاملMyosin cross-bridge kinetics in airway smooth muscle: a comparative study of humans, rats, and rabbits.
To analyze the kinetics and unitary force of cross bridges (CBs) in airway smooth muscle (ASM), we proposed a new formalism of Huxley's equations adapted to nonsarcomeric muscles (Huxley AF. Prog Biophys Biophys Chem 7: 255-318, 1957). These equations were applied to ASM from rabbits, rats, and humans (n = 12/group). We tested the hypothesis that species differences in whole ASM mechanics were ...
متن کاملCharacterization of cross-bridge elasticity and kinetics of cross-bridge cycling during force development in single smooth muscle cells
Force development in smooth muscle, as in skeletal muscle, is believed to reflect recruitment of force-generating myosin cross-bridges. However, little is known about the events underlying cross-bridge recruitment as the muscle cell approaches peak isometric force and then enters a period of tension maintenance. In the present studies on single smooth muscle cells isolated from the toad (Bufo m...
متن کاملRegional differences of energetics, mechanics, and kinetics of myosin cross-bridge in human ureter smooth muscle.
This study provides information about baseline mechanical properties of the entire muscle and the molecular contractile mechanism in human ureter smooth muscle and proposed to investigate if changes in mechanical motor performance in different regions of isolated human ureter are attributable to differences in myosin crossbridge interactions. Classic mechanical, contraction and energetic parame...
متن کاملResting myosin cross-bridge configuration in frog muscle thick filaments
Clear images of myosin filaments have been seen in shadowed freeze-fracture replicas of single fibers of relaxed frog semitendinosus muscles rapidly frozen using a dual propane jet freezing device. These images have been analyzed by optical diffraction and computer averaging and have been modelled to reveal details of the myosin head configuration on the right-handed, three-stranded helix of cr...
