In a sliding-filament model of muscle contraction, actin and myosin are organized in distinct structures, and cyclic interactions between them gen erate force and shortening by a translational movement between the two types of filaments. Force developed by a contractile unit (the sarcomere in striated muscle) is the sum of the forces generated by all the interacting sites coupled in parallel. Such a mechanism was confirmed for striated muscles by a synthesis of structural and mechanical data [(24); see also Tregear & Marston in the present volume]. This chapter reviews structural models that have been proposed for the contractile system of vertebrate smooth muscle. Evidence for structures in vertebrate smooth muscle that meet requirements of a sliding-filament model is discussed briefly. Several types of models are described that show promise of accommodating the known facts; and key data that must be obtained before various hypotheses can be discriminated are noted.
