Abstract
The extent of oxygen exchange between phosphate and water has been measured for the calcium-regulated magnesium-dependent ATPase activity of chemically skinned fibers from rabbit skeletal muscle. The oxygen exchange was determined for isometrically held fibers by measuring with a mass spectrometer the distribution of 18O atoms in the product inorganic phosphate when ATP hydrolysis was carried out in H2(18)O. The extent of exchange was much greater in relaxed muscle (free Ca2+ less than 10(-8) M) than in calcium-activated muscle (free Ca2+ approximately equal to 3 X 10(-5) M). Activated fibers had an ATPase activity at least 30-fold greater than the relaxed fibers. These results correlate well with the extents of oxygen exchange accompanying magnesium-dependent myosin and unregulated actomyosin ATPase activities, respectively. In relaxed fibers, comparison of the amount of exchange with the ATPase activity suggests that the rate constant for the reformation of myosin-bound ATP from the myosin products complex is about 10 s-1 at 20 degrees C and pH 7.1. In each experiment the distribution of 18O in the Pi formed was incompatible with a single pathway for ATP hydrolysis. In the case of the calcium-activated fibers, the multiple pathways for ATP hydrolysis appeared to be an intrinsic property of the actomyosin ATPase in the fiber. These results indicate that in muscle fibers, as in isolated actomyosin, cleavage of protein-bound ATP is readily reversible and that association of the myosin products complex with actin promotes Pi release.

Abstract
Correlations have been made between the mechanical and biochemical descriptions of muscle relaxation. Skinned muscle fibres in the rigor state were incubated in a solution containing P3-1-(2-nitro)phenylethyladenosine-5'-triphosphate, 'caged ATP', an inert photolabile precursor of ATP, and free Ca2+ concentration less than 10(-8) M. The mechanical response of the fibre was monitored during relaxation initiated by liberating ATP with a pulse of 347 nm light from a frequency-doubled ruby laser. Tension first dropped and then rose briefly, before finally declining to the relaxed level. Stiffness, in phase with a sinusoidal length change, declined monotonically after the laser pulse. Out-of-phase stiffness increased briefly after a delay, then returned to the base line during the final relaxation. The development of the out-of-phase stiffness signal was taken as evidence that during the relaxation some cross-bridges were present with properties similar to those in an active contraction. The tension rise and slower phase of relaxation can be explained by a mechanism in which some of the cross-bridges reattach, generate force and finally detach in the absence of Ca2+ ions. In this model cross-bridge attachment is facilitated by protein co-operativity within the myofilaments. Detailed analysis of the mechanical transients makes other possible models for the initial tension rise unlikely. Stretching or releasing fibres prior to photolysis changed the time course of the early parts of the tension transient without significant effect on the later phases or on stiffness. The tension records from stretch, release and isometric trials converged to a final common time course of relaxation. Analysis of the convergence of tension records provided a means for measuring the cross-bridge detachment rate from the thin filament as a function of ATP concentration. The apparent second-order rate constant for detachment was at least 5 X 10(5) M-1 S-1 at 20-22 degrees C. The final relaxation rate was less dependent on ATP concentration than the early convergence. The results indicate that ATP binding and cross-bridge detachment from the nucleotide-free intermediate of the cross-bridge cycle are rapid compared to the cross-bridge cycling rate.

Abstract
Mechanical and biochemical descriptions of the muscle cross-bridge cycle have been correlated. Skinned muscle fibres of rabbit psoas muscle in rigor were incubated in solutions containing approximately equal to 30 microM-Ca2+ ions and P3-1-(2-nitro)phenylethyladenosine-5'-triphosphate, 'caged ATP', an inert photolabile precursor of ATP. ATP was liberated from caged ATP within the fibres by pulses of 347 nm radiation from a frequency-doubled ruby laser. The mechanical responses of muscle fibres to the rapid increase of ATP concentration were monitored. Tension dropped briefly and then rose above the rigor value to the level characteristic of a steady active contraction. Liberation of ATP decreased in-phase stiffness (measured at 500 Hz) from the rigor level to a maintained value intermediate between rigor and relaxed values. Out-of-phase stiffness increased to a maintained level indicating a phase lead of tension with respect to imposed length oscillations. Rigor tension was varied prior to photolysis by slight alterations of fibre length. Tension traces starting at different rigor tensions converged to a common tension level at the same rate, whether or not Ca2+ was included in the medium. These data suggest that the rate of cross-bridge detachment by ATP from the rigor state is not influenced by Ca2+. Analysis of the tension records, in terms of sequential detachment and reattachment reactions, provided a measure of cross-bridge reattachment rate and an alternate measure of the detachment rate. Detachment from the rigor state was approximately proportional to the ATP concentration, with a second-order rate constant of at least 5 X 10(5) M-1 S-1. Reattachment with force generation had no detectable dependence on the concentration of ATP liberated by photolysis. A simple kinetic model of the cross-bridge cycle in terms of chemically defined intermediates was compatible with most of the experimental data. The ATP dependence of cross-bridge detachment, the kinetics of maintained cross-bridge reattachment in the presence of Ca2+, and transient reattachment and final relaxation in the absence of Ca2+ were explained. In this model, reversibility of cross-bridge attachment and the steps leading to force production allow the relatively high observed detachment rate to be accommodated with other data relating to active contraction. These data include the steady ATPase rate of active muscle fibres and the fewer attached cross-bridges in active contractions compared to rigor.

Abstract
The time course of magnesium adenosine triphosphate (Mg ATP) cleavage in chemically skinned muscle fibres of the rabbit was measured by a method in which Mg ATP cleavage was initiated by photolytic release of ATP from P3-1-(2-nitro)phenylethyladenosine 5'-triphosphate (caged ATP) and terminated by rapid freezing 50 ms to 8 s later. Up to 5 mM-ATP was released following a single 50 ns laser pulse at 347 nm. Mg ATP cleavage was measured at 19 degrees C in the presence and absence of calcium ions, for fibres near rest length and stretched beyond overlap of the myofilaments. At full overlap and in the absence of calcium (less than 10(-8) M) and nucleotide, the fibres developed rigor tension. Following the laser pulse the tension decreased to that of a relaxed fibre in two distinct phases. The first phase lasted about 40 ms and was followed by a second phase during which tension decreased to zero with an approximately exponential time course with a rate constant of 11 s-1. In the presence of 2 X 10(-5) M-free calcium ions, the initial phase following the laser flash lasted approximately 13 ms, and was followed by an exponential rise of tension with a rate constant of 28 s-1. The active tension reached by the muscle fibres was 54 kN/m2. For fibres stretched beyond overlap, no change in tension was observed following the release of Mg ATP. Under all conditions the time course of Mg ATP cleavage was biphasic, and consisted of a rapid initial burst of ADP formation, complete within 50 ms, followed by a slower steady-state rate of Mg ATP cleavage. The number of molecules of Mg ATP cleaved during the burst was approximately equal to the number of myosin subfragment 1 heads for fibres at full myofilament overlap, and equal to 0.7 molecules per myosin subfragment 1 head for fibres stretched beyond overlap. At full overlap in the presence of calcium ions, the steady-state rate equalled 1.8 mol Mg ATP cleaved per mole myosin subfragment 1 head per second. In all other cases the steady-state rate of Mg ATP cleavage was at least 10-fold less. When fibres at full overlap were pre-incubated with 2 mM-ADP, the initial phase of the tension response was somewhat prolonged, but the burst of ADP formation was also complete within 50 ms.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Knowledge of the functional properties of the protein in oriented multilayers, in addition to vesicular dispersions, of membranes such as the isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), extends the variety of techniques that can be effectively used in studies of the membrane protein's structure or structural changes associated with its function. One technique requiring the use of oriented multilayers to provide more direct time-averaged and time-resolved structural investigations of the SR membrane is x-ray diffraction. Therefore, the kinetics of ATP-induced calcium uptake by isolated SR vesicles in dispersions and hydrated, oriented multilayers were compared. Ca2+ uptake was necessarily initiated by the addition of ATP through flash photolysis of caged ATP, P3-1-(2-nitro)phenylethyl adenosine 5'-triphosphate, with either a frequency-doubled ruby laser or a 200 W Hg arc lamp, and measured with two different detector systems that followed the absorbance changes of the metallochromic indicator arsenazo III, which is sensitive to changes in the extravesicular [Ca2+]. The temperature range investigated was -2 degrees to 26 degrees C. The Ca2+ uptake kinetics of SR membranes in both the vesicular dispersions and oriented multilayers consist of at least two phases, an initial fast phase and a subsequent slow phase. The fast phase, generally believed to be associated with the formation of the phosphorylated enzyme, E approximately P, is kinetically comparable in both SR dispersions and multilayers. The slow phase mathematically follows first-order kinetics with specific rate constants of approximately 0.6 s-1 and approximately 1.2 s-1 for the dispersions at 26 degrees C and multilayers at 21 degrees C, respectively, with the given experimental conditions. The slow phase, generally believed to be associated with the translocation of Ca+2, across the membrane profile, appears to be the same process in SR dispersions and multilayers through their virtually identical rate constants and their identical activation energies of 22 +/-1 kcal mol -1. The stoichiometry of ~2 mol Ca2+/mol ATP hydrolyzed was measured in dispersions for the slow phase of Ca2+ uptake. Photolysis of caged ATP with the lamp and the laser provides comparable results for the Ca2+ uptake kinetics in SR dispersions and multilayers. Laser flash photolysis, however, has the advantages of optimal time resolution and effective synchronization of the ensemble of Ca2+-ATPase molecules in the ATP initiated Ca2+ transport process.

Abstract
Förster energy-transfer techniques have been applied to labeled myosin subfragment 1 from rabbit skeletal muscle to determine an intramolecular distance and whether this distance changes during magnesium-dependent ATPase activity. The alkali one light chain was labeled at Cys-177 with N-(iodoacetyl)-N'-(5-sulfo-1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine (1,5-IAEDANS) and then exchanged into subfragment 1. High specificity of labeling was indicated by high-performance liquid chromatography analysis of a tryptic digest of the labeled light chain. 2'(3')-O-(2,4,6-Trinitrophenyl)adenosine 5'-diphosphate (TNP-ADP) was bound to the labeled protein at the ATPase active site. The efficiency of energy transfer between the probes was 0.09 when measured by both steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence. Anisotropy measurements of the bound AEDANS indicated considerable freedom of motion of the probe. The probable distance between the probes was 57 A. This distance was unchanged during triphosphatase activity. Two further sites of TNP-ADP interaction with subfragment 1 were found. The effect of these interactions on the energy-transfer measurements was reduced to a minimum by careful choice of reaction conditions.

Abstract
'Calcium-antagonists' are a group of pharmacological agents which are potent vasodilators and are clinically used for the treatment of angina. They are thought to block Ca2+ channels in vascular smooth muscle and myocardium but other sites of action have been proposed. These agents bind tightly to heart muscle and suppress action potential and contraction. Nifedipine and nisoldipine (BAY K 5552) are Ca2+ antagonists which have o-nitrobenzyl groups and are photolabile. We have found that short pulses of UV light rapidly inactivate these drugs in ventricular muscle. This observation allowed us to study the effect of Ca2+ antagonists on action potential, Ca2+ current and tension in conditions in which diffusion of those drugs from their site of action was not rate limiting. Our studies, described here, suggest that the primary mechanism of action of Ca2+ antagonists is the blockade of the Ca2+ channel and support the idea that extracellular space is the immediate source of contractile Ca2+ in the frog heart.

Abstract
A novel method has been developed for studying the reaction kinetics of the force-generating mechanism in muscle. Inert photolabile precursors of ATP or ADP are incorporated into muscle fibres having their surface membrane barrier removed. The nucleotide is then rapidly liberated by laser pulse photolysis. This circumvents the limitation in time resolution set by diffusion of nucleotide from the medium bathing the fibre. This laser photolysis method may be applicable to studies of the dynamic properties of many biological systems.

Abstract
The time course of formation and decay of protein-bound adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) has been monitored during single turnovers of the myosin subfragment 1 ATPase with nonspectrophotometric techniques. The rate constant controlling the ATP cleavage step increases markedly with ionic strength, so that in low salt the protein--ATP complex is observed transiently at higher concentration than the protein-products complex. The kinetics of the ATP cleavage step in a single turnover of the actosubfragment 1 ATPase indicates that under appropriate conditions this step is partially rate limiting during overall steady-state ATPase activity. It follows that a binary subfragment 1-ATP complex is a significant component of the steady-state intermediate of the actosubfragment 1 ATPase. Transient kinetic studies of ATP and adenosine 5'-(3-thiotriphosphate) [ATP (gamma S)] binding show directly that a substrate-induced protein isomerization accompanies ligand binding. The rate constant of the isomerization is 170 s-1 at pH 7.0, 15 degrees C, and 0.01 M ionic strength. Under these conditions nucleotide binding appears to be accompanied by a protein fluorescence increase that is 50% of the increase associated with magnesium-dependent steady-state ATPase activity.

Abstract
Ligands in the first coordination sphere of Mn(II) in the complex of MnADP with myosin subfragment 1 from rabbit skeletal muscle have been investigated. EPR spectroscopy was used to detect superhyperfine coupling between unpaired electrons of the metal ion and the nuclei of oxygen atoms specifically labeled with oxygen 17. The results show that ADP is a beta-monodentate ligand for Mn(II) and that there are probably two water oxygens directly bound to Mn(II). The inhibitory complex of vanadate with subfragment 1 . MnADP was also investigated. Vanadate-dependent changes in the EPR spectra for enzyme-bound Mn(II) indicate that the coordination sphere of MN(II) changes upon binding of vanadate. ADP remains a beta-monodenate ligand in the complex and experiments with 17O-labeled water indicate that two oxygen atoms originally in water are ligands in the complex. However, the oxygens of vanadate equilibrate with those of water during sample preparation so that one of these ligands may be a vanadate oxygen. Three additional ligands, probably from the protein, are required to complete the sextet of ligands to Mn(II) in both complexes studied.

Abstract
During ATP hydrolysis, myosin or subfragment 1 catalyzes the exchange of oxygens between water and phosphate, so that on average, each product Pi molecule contains more than one oxygen atom derived from water. Using quenched-flow techniques, the exchange process in both ATP and Pi was studied in the rabbit skeletal muscle subfragment 1 ATPase. The exchange in protein-bound ATP (M*.ATP) and protein-bound ADP.Pi (M**.ADP.Pi) was followed as a function of time. The pattern of exchange follows closely a model in which M*.ATP + H2O and M**.ADP.Pi are interconverted directly, without any characterizable intermediate between these species. All oxygen atoms of Pi are equivalent with respect to loss to solvent, and elimination of water to re-form ATP occurs with a rate constant of 15 s-1 (at pH 8.0, I 0.015 M, 20 degrees C). This is the first direct measurement of the rate constant for the transformation of M**.ADP.Pi to M*.ATP. Oxygen exchange during steady state ATP hydrolysis in the presence of acto-subfragment 1 also fits well to this model, with actin reducing the time available for M*.ATP and M**.ADP.Pi to undergo exchange.

Abstract
The stereochemical course of the phosphoric residue transfer from ADP to water catalyzed by the (Mg2+ + Ca2+)-dependent ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum has been determined. For this determination, the preparation is described of ATP gamma S, stereospecifically labeled in the gamma-position with both 17O and 18O. After hydrolysis of this nucleotide, the analysis of the product inorganic [16O,17O,18O]thiophosphate showed that the reaction proceeded with retention of configuration at the gamma-phosphorus atom. This result is expected since a phosphoenzyme is well characterized for this ATPase and provides support for the hypothesis that each phosphate transfer step occurs with inversion. In this case, the formation and breakdown of the phosphoenzyme occur each with inversion leading to the retention observed for the whole reaction.

Abstract
The stereochemical course of phosphoric residue transfer has been determined for beef heart mitochondrial ATPase. When aden 5'-(3-thiotriphosphate), stereospecifically labeled with 18O in the gamma position, was hydrolyzed in [17O]water in the presence of the ATPase, the product inorganic [16O, 17O, 18O]thiophosphate was chiral. The configuration of the product showed that the hydrolysis had proceeded with inversion at the gamma-phosphorus atom. This result suggests that there is a direct, in-line transfer of the phosphoric residue between ADP and water and that there is no phosphoenzyme intermediate.

Abstract
2-Nitrobenzyl derivatives have been used for several years as photolabile protecting groups in synthetic organic chemistry. Recently, P3-1-(2-nitro phenylethyladenosine 5'-triphosphate "caged ATP" was synthesized and its photolysis was shown to generate ATP in situ. This and related reactions have great potential for structural and kinetic studies of both intact and soluble biological systems and it is thus important to define the kinetic characteristics of the photolytic reaction. Caged ATP (2.5 mM) was photolyzed at 347 nm by a single 30-nsec pulse from a frequency-doubled ruby laser of 25 mJ energy to generate 500 microM ATP. The kinetics of the overall reaction were determined by monitoring the kinetics of ATP-induced dissociation of actomyosin, a reaction of known kinetic characteristics. Release of 500 microM ATP was found to be controlled by a process having a rate constant of 2.2 X 10(9) [H+] sec-1 at 22 degrees C at pH 5.8-9.5, which corresponds to 220 sec-1 at pH 7. This process is believed to be the breakdown of an aci-nitro compound, which was identified on the basis of its spectral properties and the photochromicity of related 2-nitrobenzyl compounds.

Abstract
During the hydrolysis of MgATP catalyzed by myosin, ATP bound to the protein undergoes a reaction such that the beta-nonbridge oxygen atoms exchange position with the beta gamma-bridge oxygen atom. The extent of this exchange was variable but averaged 45% for ATP that had been bound for 2 s at the myosin subfragment 1 active site at ionic strength 0.08 M, pH 8.0, and 22 degrees C. This result proves that ATP cleavage in the myosin active site is readily reversible. The result also suggests that the beta-phosphate of ADP that must be formed in this cleavage step is highly constrained in the protein.

Abstract
When adenosine 5'-(3-thiotriphosphate), stereospecifically labeled in the gamma position with 18O, was hydrolyzed in the presence of myosin subfragment 1 in 17O-enriched water, the product inorganic [16O,17O,18O]thiophosphate was chiral. The configuration of this product showed that the hydrolysis proceeds with inversion at the transferred phosphoric residue. This result suggests a direct, in-line hydrolysis mechanism for the ATPase.

Abstract
The R- and S-enantiomers of inorganic [16O, 17O, 18O]-thiophosphate have been synthesized from the B and A isomers of [alpha-S; alph-18O; alpha beta-17O; beta-17O3]ADP. Each chiral thiophosphate was incorporated into isomer A of ATP beta S with distinct oxygen isotopic labelings, which were characterized by 31P NMR. The 3-phosphoglycerate kinase-catalyzed reaction was shown to proceed by inversion at phosphorus since all other steps in the reaction sequence between inorganic thiophosphate and ATP beta S were of known stereospecificity.

Abstract
The mechanism of the Mg2+-dependent myosin subfragment 1 catalyzed hydrolysis of GTP and 2-amino-6-mercapto-9-beta-ribofuranosylpurine 5'-triphosphate (thioGTP) has been investigated by rapid-reaction techniques. The myosin was isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle. The steady-state intermediate of these reactions consists pre-dominantly of a protein-substrate complex unlike the myosin subfragment 1 ATPase reaction which has a protein-products complex as the principal steady-state component. The mechanism of GTP hydrolysis catalyzed by subfragment 1 has other marked differences from the ATPase mechanism. The second-order rate constant of binding of GTP to subfragment 1 is tenfold greater than that for GDP binding. The dissociation rate constant of GDP from subfragment 1 is 0.06 s-1 compared with the subfragment 1 catalytic center activity for GTP hydrolysis of 0.5 s-1 at pH 8.0 and 20 degrees C. This shows that GDP bound to subfragment 1 forms a complex which is not kinetically competent to be an intermediate of the GTPase mechanism. GDP is hydrolyzed in the presence of subfragment 1 to GMP and Pi. The subfragment 1 GTPase mechanism has a nuber if features in common with that of the elongation factor Tu GTPase of the protein biosynthetic system of Escherichia coli.

Abstract
The time course of oxygen-18 exchange between [18O]Pi and normal water, catalyzed by myosin subfragment 1 in the presence of MgADP, was followed using the shift in 31P NMR caused by the presence of oxygen-18 bound to the phosphorus. Essentially all molecules of [18O]Pi that bind to the enzyme undergo complete exchange and are released as [16O4]Pi. Exchange probably occurs by formation of myosin.ATP from a myosin.ADP.Pi complex and is rapid relative to release of Pi from this complex. The kinetics of exchange give a value for the rate constant for binding Pi to myosin.ADP of 0.23 M-1 S-1 (pH 8.0, 22 degrees C). This value is consistent with exchange occurring by reversal of the ATP-ase reaction back to the myosin.ATP complex.

Abstract
The Mg2+-dependent ATPase (adenosine 5'-triphosphatase) mechanism of myosin and subfragment 1 prepared from frog leg muscle was investigated by transient kinetic technique. The results show that in general terms the mechanism is similar to that of the rabbit skeletal-muscle myosin ATPase. During subfragment-1 ATPase activity at 0-5 degrees C pH 7.0 and I0.15, the predominant component of the steady-state intermediate is a subfragment-1-products complex (E.ADP.Pi). Binary subfragment-1-ATP (E.ATP) and subfragment-1-ADP (E.ADP) complexes are the other main components of the steady-state intermediate, the relative concentrations of the three components E.ATP, E.ADP.Pi and E.ADP being 5.5:92.5:2.0 respectively. The frog myosin ATPase mechanism is distinguished from that of the rabbit at 0-5 degrees C by the low steady-state concentrations of E.ATP and E.ADP relative to that of E.ADP.Pi and can be described by: E + ATP k' + 1 in equilibrium k' - 1 E.ATP k' + 2 in equilibrium k' - 2 E.ADP.Pi k' + 3 in equilibrium k' - 3 E.ADP + Pi k' + 4 in equilibrium k' - 4 E + ADP. In the above conditions successive forward rate constants have values: k' + 1, 1.1 X 10(5)M-1.S-1; k' + 2 greater than 5s-1; k' + 3, 0.011 s-1; k' + 4, 0.5 s-1; k'-1 is probably less than 0.006s-1. The observed second-order rate constants of the association of actin to subfragment 1 and of ATP-induced dissociation of the actin-subfragment-1 complex are 5.5 X 10(4) M-1.S-1 and 7.4 X 10(5) M-1.S-1 respectively at 2-5 degrees C and pH 7.0. The physiological implications of these results are discussed.
