ABSTRACT
The elementary steps surrounding the nucleotide binding step in the cross-bridge cycle were investigated with sinusoidal analysis in rabbit soleus slow-twitch muscle fibers. The single-fiber preparations were activated at pCa 4.40, ionic strength 180 mM, 20 degrees C, and the effects of MgATP (S) and MgADP (D) concentrations on three exponential processes B, C, and D were studied. Our results demonstrate that all apparent (measured) rate constants increased and saturated hyperbolically as the MgATP concentration was increased. These results are consistent with the following cross-bridge scheme: [cross-bridge scheme: see text] where A = actin, M = myosin, S = MgATP, and D = MgADP. AM+S is a collision complex, and AM*S is its isomerized form. From our studies, we obtained K0 = 18 +/- 4 mM-1 (MgADP association constant, N = 7, average +/- sem), K1a = 1.2 +/- 0.3 mM-1 (MgATP association constant, N = 8 hereafter), k1b = 90 +/- 20 s-1 (rate constant of ATP isomerization), k-1b = 100 +/- 9 s-1 (rate constant of reverse isomerization), K1b = 1.0 +/- 0.2 (equilibrium constant of isomerization), k2 = 21 +/- 3 s-1 (rate constant of cross-bridge detachment), k-2 = 14.1 +/- 1.0 s-1 (rate constant of reversal of detachment), and K2 = 1.6 +/- 0.3 (equilibrium constant of detachment). K0 is 8 times and K1a is 2.2 times those in rabbit psoas, indicating that nucleotides bind to cross-bridges more tightly in soleus slow-twitch muscle fibers than in psoas fast-twitch muscle fibers. These results indicate that cross-bridges of slow-twitch fibers are more resistant to ATP depletion than those of fast-twitch fibers. The rate constants of ATP isomerization and cross-bridge detachment steps are, in general, one-tenth to one-thirtieth of those in psoas.
