  • Title: Oxygen exchange between Pi in the medium and water during ATP hydrolysis mediated by skinned fibers from rabbit skeletal muscle. Evidence for Pi binding to a force-generating state.

    Journal: J Biol Chem; 1986 Nov 25; 261(33):15557-64. PubMed ID: 2946675.
    Abstract:
    Oxygen exchange between (18O4)Pi in the medium and water accompanies ATP hydrolysis catalyzed by the calcium-regulated MgATPase of vertebrate skeletal muscle. Exchange was observed in chemically skinned fibers from rabbit psoas muscle held isometrically and activated by 30 microM free Ca2+. The rate of exchange was approximately proportional to Pi concentration (up to 10 mM) and was characterized by an apparent second order rate constant greater than or equal to 475 M-1 S-1 (pH 7.1, ionic strength 0.2 M, 22 degrees C). Much less exchange occurred in the absence of Ca2+ or when ATP was replaced by ADP. It has been inferred from mechanical experiments that Pi can bind to a force-generating ADP-bound state of actomyosin with resultant suppression of force (Hibberd, M. G., Dantzig, J. A., Trentham, D. R., and Goldman, Y. E. (1985) Science 228, 1317-1319). The oxygen exchange results support this inference by providing direct evidence that Pi in the medium binds at the ATPase catalytic site in activated isometric fibers. The inter-relationship of these two effects involving Pi on mechanochemical coupling in muscle is discussed.
