Objectives By the end of this lecture, you should be able to: Understand the Molecular mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction including: Role of calcium ions in excitation contraction coupling Sliding Filament Theory of Contraction The role of T-tubule and sarcoplasmic reticulum Regulation of Calcium efflux and influx from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and into the sarcoplasm Molecular rearrangement of Actin and Myosin Myosin-ATPase cycle and Rigor Mortis phenomenon

Sliding Filament Mechanism Cross-bridge interaction between actin and myosin brings about muscle contraction by means of the sliding filament mechanism.

Sliding Filaments = Muscle Contraction The Basic Steps: 1- Message sent 2- Neurotransmitter 3- Depolarization 4- Calcium + Troponin = Actin Exposed 5- Actin + Myosin (Contraction)

Neuron  Muscle (Muscle Fiber) 1)Message sent – Conscious decision to move – Physiotherapy 2)Nervous System – Neurotransmitter released (ACh, acetylcholine) – ACh binds to sarcolemma of muscle fiber – ACh initiates opening of sodium-potassium channels

3)Depolarization – Binding of ACh to sodium-potassium channels – Opening of channels + Movement of Na-K+ across sarcolemma Imbalance of charges  electrical current (action potential)

The Neuromuscular Junction

4)Sarcoplasmic Reticulum  Calcium Action Potential releases Calcium: – Ca+ released from membrane of sarcoplasmic reticulum to sarcomere – Ca+ binds with troponin C: Troponin-Tropomyosion conformation changes Troponin & Tropomyosin no longer cover Actin Actin is exposed

(5) Myosin  Actin Once the active site of actin are exposed, the myosin heads(cross bridges) become attached to them, thus allowing sliding of actin on the myosin (the actin filaments move towards the center of the myosin & shortening occurs)

The heads of myosin when in contact with the active sites ATPase that catalyze the splitting of ATP to ADP + Pi + energy The energy liberated is consumed in contraction which is an active process

Power Stroke Activated cross bridge bends toward center of thick filament, “rowing” in thin filament to which it is attached – Sarcoplasmic reticulum releases Ca 2+ – Myosin heads bind to actin – Hydrolysis of ATP transfers energy to myosin head Myosin heads (bends) toward center of sarcomere (power stroke) – ATP binds to myosin head and detaches it from actin

The Sliding Filament Theory  Myosin crossbridges  Results in the sliding or overlap of the actin and myosin filaments  Causes sarcomere to contract (muscle contraction)

(6) Relaxation Acetylcholinesterase breaks down ACh at neuromuscular junction Muscle fiber action potential stops, there no more release of Ca 2+ from lateral sacs. – Myosin detaches and moves away from Actin – Troponin & Tropomyosin cover up Actin – Ca+ moves back into Sarcoplasmic Reticulum – Repolarization  Sarcolemma stable again – ATP is required for myosin head to release from actin and come back to resting state

Role of Calcium in Cross-Bridge Formation Increase in Ca 2+ starts filament sliding Decrease in Ca 2+ turns off sliding process Thin filaments on each side of sarcomere slide inward over stationary thick filaments toward center of A band during contraction As thin filaments slide inward, they pull Z lines closer together Sarcomere shortens

Role of Calcium in Cross-Bridge Formation During relaxed state

Role of Calcium in Cross-Bridge Formation Excited

Changes in Banding Pattern During Shortening

Contraction-Relaxation Steps Requiring ATP Splitting of ATP by myosin ATPase provides energy for power stroke of cross bridge Binding of fresh molecule of ATP to myosin lets bridge detach from actin filament at end of power stroke so cycle can be repeated Active transport of Ca 2+ back into sarcoplasmic reticulum during relaxation depends on energy derived from breakdown of ATP

Applied Aspect Rigor Mortis ? – Stiffness that develops after deaths – No ATP – As ATP is required for myosin head to release from actin and come back to resting state. Lack of ATP will result in constant binding of acting and myosin cross bridge resulting in stiff ness – Begins within 12 hours and ends after 48 hours – After 48 hours, muscle cells begin to autolyse

Relationship of an action potential to resultant muscle twitch
