(An)aerobic pathways in the different fibers

Anaerobic -Glucose to lactic acid.  Well developed in Type II muscles (Type IIb/X)

Aerobic - Oxid. phosphorylation. Cardiac and Type I muscles.  Unlimited capacity for ATP production

3 impt. feature of contractile process
1) hydrolysis of ATP
2) Hydrolysis of ATP linked to muscle shortening and tension development
3) 1 and 2 controlled by Ca.  Depolarization -> release of Ca from SR; remobal -> relaxation
3components of muscle contraction.

1) Isometric energy (hold load)

2) Energy to perform work (move load)

3) Energy for rate of moving. (velocity) [more X-bridgeport; Inc load=Dec. velocity] 

4 major proteins in sarcomere
Actin
Myosin
Tropomyosin
Troponin complex

Muscle strength.

Force is a function of ___.    

1) (AP) Frequency. 

2) Motor unit recruitment     

After load; what is it?  
Additional resistance not directly related to the load.
Biological properties of Actin
Activates myosin ATPase; physical-chemical change
Biological properties of myosin
-ATPase activity found in myosin glob. heads.  (Hydrolysis of ATP)
-Tail region - aggregates.  Filamentous, coiled-coiled.
-Form the thick filaments
- Head perpendicular to filament; forms X-bridge.
Ca trigger pathway
Triggered by coupling MAP down T-tubule, releasing Ca from lateral cisternae.
The longitudinal SR transports Ca back into storage for relaxation.
Diffusion distance: from SR to Troponin C
Compared to the number of troponin molecules, how much Ca is release in skeletal muscles?
Enough to bing all the troponin, given enough time.
Eccentric muscle actions;
Can absorbs energy.
Energy hierarchy
-ATP (money) - always present in cell.
-Creatine Phosphate (ATM machine) Major storage of high-energy phosphates.  Rephosphorylate ATP.  Enough for about 30 secs.
-glycogen
-Respiration
-Fat cells
Fancy names for T-tublue and calcium release channel.
DHR: dihydropyridine receptor
RyR1: ryanodine receptor
Force-velocity relationship    

Inc load=Dec. velocity b/c of X-bridges.

For Type I and Type II; Type II move same load 4x faster. (power)     

Functional implication of myosin
-Isoforms have different ATPase activity
-Low ATPase activity = slow rate of muscle shortening, and  vice versa.
Ismetric contraction       
Total tension - Passive tension = Active tension
Look at rigor cycle
Look at rigor cycle
Muscle fibers anatomy.
Multinucleated.
Adaptable in diameter.
Myofibril anatomy.
Composed of actin and myosin.
Arranged into sarcomere.
Z line
A band
H zone
I band
Organization w/in sarcomere of actin
-backbone of thin filaments in sarcomere
[-7 per half-turn of polymer]
Sarcolemma anatomy.
Surround muscle fibers.
T-tuble - nutrients diffusion area.  Invagination in S.
Sarcoplasm anatomy.
The cytoplasm not related to contractile process.  Ex: glycogen, ribosomes, mitochondria.
Sarcoplasmic reticulum anatomy.
Specialized ER for Ca storage and release.
Lateral cisternae - stores and releases Ca.  (More in Type II).  2 + 1 T-tublue = 1 triad.
Longiitudinal tubule.
Skeletal muscles consume energy in ___. 
Resting (maintain homeostasis); contraction and work; recovery (Ca transport)
Tell me about the release of Ca from the SR.
In inc. Ca; binds to troponin C
RyR1 opens; Ca goes down gradient out of cell to Troponin.
Tropomyosin organization
In groove b/w 2 actin helixes.
Troponin complex biological characteristics
Troponin I - interacts w/ inhibitor protein
Troponin T - binds to tropobyosin
Troponin C - binds to Ca (makes tropomyosin move away from binding sites on actin)
Type I fibers
Slow twitch
Oxidative
More mitochondria
Red
Type II (a and b/X) fibers
Fast twitch fibers.
IIa - fast twitch, oxidative
IIb/X - fast twitch, glycolytic
White
What are 4 physiological functions of skeletal muscle?
-Thermogenesis
-Protein storage
-Psychological
-Biochemical (can absorb energy)
What's SERCA?  What's it do?
Sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase
a Ca pump, uses ATP hydrolysis
2 Ca ion for 1 ATP
SERCA 1 (higher uptake rates; Type II)
SERCA 2a (Type I muscles)
