What drives activation-dependent shifts in the force-length curve?
Skeletal muscles are rarely recruited maximally during movement. However, much of our understanding of muscle properties is based on studies using maximal activation. The effect of activation level on skeletal muscle properties remains poorly understood. Muscle optimum length increases with decreased activation; however, the mechanism responsible is unclear. Here, we attempted to determine whet...
متن کاملInner activation gate in S6 contributes to the state-dependent binding of cAMP in full-length HCN2 channel
Recently, applications of the patch-clamp fluorometry (PCF) technique in studies of cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) and hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-regulated (HCN) channels have provided direct evidence for the long-held notion that ligands preferably bind to and stabilize these channels in an open state. This state-dependent ligand-channel interaction involves contributions fr...
متن کاملForce-dependent stepping kinetics of myosin-V.
Myosin-V is a processive two-headed actin-based motor protein involved in many intracellular transport processes. A key question for understanding myosin-V function and the communication between its two heads is its behavior under load. Since in vivo myosin-V colocalizes with other much stronger motors like kinesins, its behavior under superstall forces is especially relevant. We used optical t...
متن کاملLength-dependent force characteristics of coiled coils.
Coiled-coil domains within and between proteins play important structural roles in biology. They consist of two or more alpha helices that form a superhelical structure due to packing of the hydrophobic residues that pattern each helix. A recent continuum model showed that the correspondence between the chirality of the pack to that of the underlying hydrophobic pattern comes about because of t...
متن کاملLength-dependent regulation of basal myosin phosphorylation and force in detrusor smooth muscle.
Urinary bladder (detrusor) smooth muscle is active in the absence of an external stimulus. Tone occurs even "at rest" during the filling phase, and it is elevated in patients with overactive bladder. This study examined the role of muscle length on tone and the level of basal myosin light chain phosphorylation (MLC(20P)). MLC(20P) was 23.9 +/- 1% (n = 58) at short lengths (zero preload; L(z)). ...
