  1. Kinetics of Muscle Contraction and Relaxation Bin Liu Ph.D. Phone: (614) 292-3925 Email: liu.591@osu.edu DHLRI 525 Department of Physiology and Cell Biology, The Ohio State University

  2. Factors Controlling SPEED of Movement Environmental Whole Body Muscle (Organ) Muscle (Cellular) Muscle (Molecular)

  3. Ultimate Factors Controlling SPEED

  4. Need the Strength to Meet the Demand Motor Units and Recruitment

  5. Amplifying Velocity/Distance - Lever Systems, Muscle Length and Geometry Levers Detrimental to Force Levers Amplify Distance/Velocity

  6. Energy Supply Also Controls SPEED Glycolytic Sources SUPPORT Speed BUT NOT Duration Oxidation Sustains Duration BUT NOT Speed

  7. Striding Requires Contraction and Relaxation For Sustained SPEEDS the Muscle Groups Must Contract as well as Relax – Otherwise No Continued Movement

  8. SPEED Is Determined by Fiber Types and Fatigue Different Fiber Types Contract and Relax at Different Rates Fatigue Can Slow the Rates of Contraction and Relaxation – Again a Fiber Type Phenomenon

  9. Cellular Regulation of Muscle Contraction 1) Action Potential 2) Calcium Transient Plasma Membrane Plasma Membrane Sarcoplasmic Reticulum [Ca2+] T-Tubule Sarcoplasmic Reticulum SR Ca2+ ATPase Time Calcium 3) Calcium Binds Troponin C 4) Myosin Power Stroke 5) Force Production Actin Actin –Ca2+ Relaxed Tropomyosin Troponin Complex - Ca2+ Actin Myosin Myosin + Ca2+ Myosin Binding Site +Ca2+ Contracted ATP Driven Power Stroke

  10. The Action Potential, Rise in Calcium and Activation of the Thin Filament All Occur Much Faster than Contraction Calcium Transient (Shortening or Force Generation)

  11. Biochemical Rate Limiting Step of Contraction (Coupling of the Chemical Changes to Mechanical Changes) Rate-Limiting Step for Contraction The Myosin Neck is also a Lever Arm POWER STROKE Associated with Pi Release

  12. ATPase Rate Correlates with Maximal Speed of Muscle Contraction

  13. The Load that Myosin Has to Work Against Alters Velocity Maximal Velocity (VMAX) Tug-of-War To bear the load more myosins need to be simultaneously bound leading to drag. D A C B B A C Even at the single molecule level velocity slows due to ADP release slowing with load. D

  14. Different Fiber Types Contract and RELAX at Different Rates - ADP ~250 Hz Super Fast Fast Slow ~200 Hz ~90 Hz ~5 Hz ~2 Hz

  15. Three Biochemical Influences on Striated Muscle Relaxation 2 1 3 Ca2+ Off TnC Cross Bridge Dissociation Fall in the Ca2+ Transient Actin Actin Tropomyosin Troponin Complex [Ca2+] - Ca2+ Amp Actin Myosin Myosin Time ATP Driven + Ca2+ Myosin Binding Site Time Power Stroke

  16. Inhibition of the SR Ca2+-ATPase Inhibits Relaxation: Ca2+ Levels Must Decline for Relaxation to Occur TBQ Inhibition of SR Ca2+-ATPase X X SR Ca2+ ATPase Control

  17. Parvalbumin Increases the Rate of Muscle Relaxation by Giving the SR Ca2+-ATPase a Helping EF-Hand - Parv +Parv Parvalbumin Acts as a Delayed and Temporary Ca2+ Buffer Mg-Parv Ca-Parv Ca2+ Displaces Mg2+ from Parv SR Ca2+ ATPase SR Removes Ca2+ from Parv

  18. The EF-Hand is the Most Common Calcium Binding Motif used to Decode the Calcium Signal EF-Hand Canonical Calcium Binding Loop Crystal Structure of Cardiac TnC N-Terminal Regulatory Domain Loop Helix Helix C-Terminal Structural Domain > 500 known EF-hand proteins with >300 unique sequences What is the significance? >1000-fold variation in affinity and rate constants

  19. The Regulatory Domain of Troponin C Acts as a Ca2+ Dependent Switch The Troponin Complex Contains Three Proteins • Troponin C – Binds Calcium • Troponin I – Inhibits Cross-Bridge Binding • Troponin T – Binds Tropomyosin Ca2+ Ca2+ TnI Ca2+ Saturated + TnI Apo State Ca2+ Saturated

  20. Effect of ‘Slower’ or ‘Faster’ Troponin C Mutants on Skeletal Muscle Relaxation Ca2+ Dissociation Rates from Fluorescent TnC Mutants Rates of Relaxation with TnC Mutants Control TnC Faster TnC Slower TnC (5/s) Slower TnC control TnC (11/s) Faster TnC (16/s)

  21. CLASSIFICATION OF SKELETAL MUSCLE FIBERS - All Systems “TUNED” for a Particular Function - 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
