Muscle Skeletal Cardiac Smooth
Thick Filament or Myosin Regulation In these cases: Myosin needs to be “activated” before it can interact with actin or move cargo
Actin Binding Proteins Like Tropomyosin Regulate Myosin Thin Filament Regulation “Blocked State” “Open or M State” “Closed State” Strong Hydrophobic Myosin Binding Sites Weak Electrostatic Myosin Binding Sites Tropomyosin “Rocks and Rolls”
Structure of Skeletal (striated) Muscle Comprised of fibers (cells) Each fiber contains many myofibrils in parallel Each myofibril contains many sarcomeres in series Striations due to characteristic banding pattern of sarcomere Electron micrograph of Skeletal Muscle Fiber
Sarcomere Composed of Overlapping Thin and Thick Filaments The Sarcomere
CROSS-BRIDGES PROJECT FROM THICK TO THIN FILAMENTS Z Line H-Zone Cross-bridge
The Thin Filament Is Composed Primarily of Actin but Also Contains Tropomyosin and the TroponinComplex Complex The Troponin Complex Contains Three Proteins • Troponin C – Binds Calcium • Troponin I – Inhibits Cross-Bridge Binding • Troponin T – Binds Tropomyosin
T-tubules and the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum The transverse tubules bring action potentials into the interior of the skeletal muscle fibers, so that the wave of depolarization passes close to the sarcoplasmic reticulum, stimulating the release of calcium ions. The extensive meshwork of sarcoplasmic reticulum assures that when it releases calcium ions they can readily diffuse to all of the troponin sites.

Mechanism of Skeletal Muscle Activation by Ca2+ **Tm can occupy 2 positions: “off” and “on” state 1) “off” state- absence of Ca2+ Tm blocks myosin binding 2) “on” state- Ca2+ binds to TnC Tm moves toward center of actin Myosin binding sites exposed Muscle contracts

ISOTONIC AND ISOMETRIC CONTRACTIONS Greater the force against which shortening occurs, the slower the velocity of shortening A – 100% Maximal Force B – 75% Maximal Force Force Maximal Velocity (VMAX) C – 50% Maximal Force D – 25% Maximal Force D C = L/T D B C A Muscle Shortening B A Time Muscles exhibit > 200-fold variation in maximum velocity of shortening. Why? Maximum velocity of shortening Reflects speed of cross-bridge cycling Is actomyosin ATPase activity Is determined by differences in the myosin molecule
RELATIONSHIP OF ELECTRICAL TO MECHANICAL EVENT IN SKELETAL MUSCLE CONTRACTION Calcium Transient (Shortening or Force Generation)
FORCE DEVELOPMENT IN AN ISOMETRIC CONTRACTION AS A FUNCTION OF STIMULUS FREQUENCY
ACTIVE, PASSIVE AND TOTAL FORCE VERSUS MUSCLE LENGTH Isometric contraction at each length In the body Skeletal muscle operates at plateau of length-force relation Cardiac muscle operates on the ascending limb of length-force relation
CLASSIFICATION OF SKELETAL MUSCLE FIBERS Classification system of muscle fibers is based on: Rate of ATP utilization and capacity to re-synthesize ATP Physiological implications of these parameters Muscles are heterogeneous with different proportions of fiber types depending on function
