Abstract
To elucidate the role of bound creatine kinase in adenine nucleotide compartmentation in myofibrils, the effects of this enzyme's substrates and products on rigor tension were studied in using isolated skinned rat cardiomyocytes rather than fibers, to avoid restrictions due to concentration gradients within the multicellular preparations. A new experimental set-up was built to allow continuous and stable measurements of force developed by cells. Triton X-100-treated cardiomyocytes were glued between a glass holder and the needle of a galvanometer. A feedback system allowed the precise measurement of force by recording the coil current necessary to prevent movement of the needle. At very low [Ca2+] (pCa 7), as MgATP level decreased, rigor tension appeared. In the absence of phosphocreatine (PCr), this tension started to rise at MgATP concentrations several times higher than in the presence of 12 mM PCr. In the absence of PCr, the pMgATP/tension curves of single cells usually had a complicated relationship which could not be analyzed by a simple Hill equation. In the absence of PCr, 250 microM MgADP strongly potentiated rigor tension development in the 1 mM-3 microM range of [MgATP]; at 100 microM MgATP, in the presence of MgADP,...Continue Reading
