Contraction of isolated smooth-muscle cells--structural changes.
The contraction of isolated smooth-muscle cells has been correlated with evagination of the cell membrane, a marked change in myofilament orientation, and a decrease in cellular volume. Both localized and full contractions have been elicited in the same cell by varying the intensity of electrical stimulation. These results may be explained by a model of the smooth-muscle cell in which the contr...
متن کاملStructural dynamics of frog muscle during isometric contraction
Intensity fluctuation autocorrelation functions of laser light scattered by actively contracting muscle were measured at points in the scattered field. They were reproducible and showed characteristics which depended on the physiological state of the muscle and the parameters of the scattering geometry. The autocorrelation functions had large amplitudes and decay rates that varied significantly...
متن کاملStructural mechanism of muscle contraction.
X-ray crystallography shows the myosin cross-bridge to exist in two conformations, the beginning and end of the "power stroke." A long lever-arm undergoes a 60 degrees to 70 degrees rotation between the two states. This rotation is coupled with changes in the active site (OPEN to CLOSED) and phosphate release. Actin binding mediates the transition from CLOSED to OPEN. Kinetics shows that the bi...
متن کاملChanges to 3 D muscle fascicle geometry during contraction
Muscle is a three dimensional (3D) entity with varying shape across the length of the muscle and changes shape during contraction. Changes in muscle shape can influence the orientation of the fascicles within the muscle [1]. Dissection studies examining 3D muscle fascicles architecture have reported regional variations in the fascicle architecture [2]. 2D ultrasound studies have shown that the ...
متن کاملChanges in actin structural transitions associated with oxidative inhibition of muscle contraction.
We have used transient phosphorescence anisotropy (TPA) to detect changes in actin structural dynamics associated with oxidative inhibition of muscle contraction. Contractility of skinned rabbit psoas muscle fibers was inhibited by treatment with 50 mM H 2O 2, which induced oxidative modifications in the myosin head and in actin, as previously reported. Using proteins purified from oxidized and...
