Muscle Fatigue from the Perspective of a Single Cross-bridge.

wk-health-logo.gif

Repeated intense stimulation of skeletal muscle rapidly decreases its force and motion generating capacity. This type of fatigue can be temporally correlated with the accumulation of metabolic by-products, including phosphate (Pi) and protons (H+). Experiments on skinned single muscle fibers demonstrate that elevated concentrations of these ions can reduce maximal isometric force, unloaded shortening velocity and peak power, providing strong evidence for a causative role in the fatigue process. This appears to be due, in part, to their direct effect on muscle's molecular motor, myosin, because in assays utilizing isolated proteins these ions directly inhibit myosin's ability to move actin. Indeed, recent work using a single molecule laser trap assay has revealed the specific steps in the cross-bridge cycle affected by these ions. In addition to their direct effects, these ions also indirectly affect myosin by decreasing the sensitivity of the myofilaments to calcium, primarily by altering the ability of the muscle regulatory proteins, troponin (Tn) and tropomyosin (Tm), to govern myosin binding to actin. This effect appears to be partially due to fatigue-dependent alterations in the structure and function of specific subunits of Tn. Parallel efforts to understand the molecular basis of muscle contraction are providing new technological approaches that will allow us to gain unprecedented molecular detail of the fatigue process. This will be crucial to fully understand this ubiquitous phenomenon and develop appropriately targeted therapies to attenuate the debilitating effects of fatigue in clinical populations.
