Contraction of skeletal muscle is triggered by regulatory structural changes in the thin filaments following calcium binding to troponin. Structural changes in the thick filaments control the availability of myosin motors for actin interaction and the strength and speed of contraction. Here, we elucidate the coupling between thin and thick filament regulatory mechanisms in demembranated fibers from mammalian skeletal muscle in near-physiological conditions, both in the steady state and on the millisecond timescale following a calcium jump. We show that physiological activation of skeletal muscle depends on two positive feedback loops, involving mechano-sensing by the thick filament and myosin-sensing by the thin filament. The rapid activation of skeletal muscle following electrical stimulation depends on the coordinated activation of both filaments. Contraction of skeletal muscle is triggered by a transient rise in intracellular calcium concentration leading to a structural change in the actin-containing thin filaments that allows binding of myosin motors from the thick filaments. Most myosin motors are unavailable for actin binding in resting muscle because they are folded back against the thick filament backbone. Release of the folded motors is triggered by thick filament stress, implying a positive feedback loop in the thick filaments. However, it was unclear how thin and thick filament activation mechanisms are coordinated, partly because most previous studies of the thin filament regulation were conducted at low temperatures where the thick filament mechanisms are inhibited. Here, we use probes on both troponin in the thin filaments and myosin in the thick filaments to monitor the activation states of both filaments in near-physiological conditions. We characterize those activation states both in the steady state, using conventional titrations with calcium buffers, and during activation on the physiological timescale, using calcium jumps produced by photolysis of caged calcium. The results reveal three activation states of the thin filament in the intact filament lattice of a muscle cell that are analogous to those proposed previously from studies on isolated proteins. We characterize the rates of the transitions between these states in relation to thick filament mechano-sensing and show how thin- and thick-filament-based mechanisms are coupled by two positive feedback loops that switch on both filaments to achieve rapid cooperative activation of skeletal muscle.
