Regulation of Tension in the Skinned Crayfish
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tension outputs were measured in skinned crayfish muscle fibers exposed to solutions variously buffered for both Mg-adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and Ca. Two types of data are shown, relating tension and substrate concentration with different levels of Ca present, or tension and calcium concentration at different levels of substrate. The data are fitted by curves calculated from a general equation for substrate inhibition. The equation is based on the schema that both tension and relaxation are induced by the substrate and that the relaxing effect of excess substrate is repressed by calcium. The physiological findings of the present work are similar to data obtained by others on biochemical model systems of the contractile proteins.

متن کاملTwo rigor states in skinned crayfish single muscle fibers
We studied the tension and stiffness of crayfish skinned single muscle fibers during and after the induction of rigor by removal of MgATP (substrate). We found that the rigor state is not unique but depends on the condition of the muscle before rigor. Fibers induced into rigor with a minimum of activation (low rigor) develop a small tension and moderate stiffness, while those entering rigor dur...

The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether various agents (adenosine 3-thiotriphosphate [ATP gamma S], trifluoperazine [TFP], troponin I, the catalytic subunit of the cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate dependent protein kinase [C-subunit], and calmodulin [CaM]) could be used to classify skinned fiber types, and then to determine whether the proposed mechanisms for Ca2+ regulat...
