Acidosis decreases the Ca2+ sensitivity of thin filaments by preventing the first actomyosin interaction

M Unger, EP Debold - American Journal of Physiology-Cell …, 2019 - journals.physiology.org
Intracellular acidosis is a putative agent of skeletal muscle fatigue, in part, because it
depresses the calcium (Ca2+) sensitivity of the myofilaments. However, the molecular …

Ca++-sensitizing mutations in troponin, Pi, and 2-deoxyATP alter the depressive effect of acidosis on regulated thin-filament velocity

TJ Longyear, MA Turner, JP Davis… - Journal of Applied …, 2014 - journals.physiology.org
Repeated, intense contractile activity compromises the ability of skeletal muscle to generate
force and velocity, resulting in fatigue. The decrease in velocity is thought to be due, in part …

Effect of low pH on single skeletal muscle myosin mechanics and kinetics

EP Debold, SE Beck… - American Journal of …, 2008 - journals.physiology.org
Acidosis (low pH) is the oldest putative agent of muscular fatigue, but the molecular

The myosin duty ratio tunes the calcium sensitivity and cooperative activation of the thin filament

M Webb, DR Jackson Jr, TJ Stewart, SP Dugan… - Biochemistry, 2013 - ACS Publications
In striated muscle, calcium binding to the thin filament (TF) regulatory complex activates
actin–myosin ATPase activity, and actin–myosin kinetics in turn regulates TF activation …

EP Debold, TJ Longyear… - Journal of Applied …, 2012 - journals.physiology.org
Muscle fatigue from intense contractile activity is thought to result, in large part, from the
accumulation of inorganic phosphate (Pi) and hydrogen ions (H+) acting to directly inhibit …

Acidosis and phosphate directly reduce myosin's force-generating capacity through distinct molecular mechanisms

M Woodward, EP Debold - Frontiers in physiology, 2018 - frontiersin.org
Elevated levels of the metabolic by-products, including acidosis (ie, high [H+]) and
phosphate (Pi) are putative agents of muscle fatigue; however, the mechanism through …

Decreased myofilament calcium sensitivity plays a significant role in muscle fatigue

EP Debold - Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews, 2016 - journals.lww.com
Intense contractile activity of skeletal muscle lasting even a few minutes results in a rapid
decline in its ability to generate force, velocity, and power—a phenomenon that …

Skeletal muscle fatigue–regulation of excitation–contraction coupling to avoid metabolic catastrophe

BR MacIntosh, RJ Holash… - Journal of cell …, 2012 - journals.biologists.com
ATP provides the energy in our muscles to generate force, through its use by myosin
ATPases, and helps to terminate contraction by pumping Ca2+ back into the sarcoplasmic …

Activation of the calcium-regulated thin filament by myosin strong binding

JA Gorga, DE Fishbaugher, P VanBuren - Biophysical journal, 2003 - cell.com
