The regulation of cross-bridge transition from weakly attached to force-bearing states was studied at 10 degrees C in skinned muscle fibers by measuring the rate of force development after a quick release-restretch cycle (ktr), the rate of force decline (kPi) after photogeneration of Pi from caged Pi, and stiffness in the presence and absence of an inhibitor of strong cross-bridge formation, 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM). Both BDM and Pi suppressed force more than stiffness. However, reduction of Ca2+ suppressed force and stiffness in a parallel fashion. Both ktr and kPi were reversibly reduced (by 30-35%) in 3 mM BDM, but both were increased by increasing Pi concentration. Reduction of Ca2+ concentration to match the force seen in 3 mM BDM had no effect on kPi but decreased ktr by 85%. These results are inconsistent with cross-bridge models undergoing the transition from a weakly bound to a force-generating state in a single step but are consistent with a model having two steps, one of which is controlled by pCa.

Chemically skinned muscle fibers, prepared from the rat medial gastrocnemius and soleus, were subjected to four sequential slack tests in Ca2+-activating solutions containing 0, 15, 30, and 0 mM added Pi. Pi (15 and 30 mM) had no effect on the unloaded shortening velocity ( V o) of fibers expressing type IIb myosin heavy chain (MHC). For fibers expressing type I MHC, 15 mM Pi did not alter V o, whereas 30 mM Pireduced V o to 81 ± 1% of the original 0 mM Pi value. This effect was readily reversible when Pi was lowered back to 0 mM. These results are not compatible with current cross-bridge models, developed exclusively from data obtained from fast fibers, in which V o is independent of Pi. The response of the type I fibers at 30 mM Pi is most likely the result of increased internal drag opposing fiber shortening resulting from fiber type-specific effects of Pi on cross bridges, the thin filament, or the rate-limiting step of the cross-bridge cycle.
