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. However, a quantitative description of the effects of actin–myosin kinetics on the calcium sensitivity (pCa50) and cooperativity (nH) of TF activation is lacking. With the assumption that TF structural transitions and TF–myosin binding transitions are inextricably coupled, we advanced the principles established by Kad et al. [Kad, N., et al. (2005)Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 102, 16990–16995] and Sich et al. [Sich, N. M., et al. (2011)J. Biol. Chem. 285, 39150–39159] to develop a simple model of TF regulation, which predicts that pCa50varies linearly with duty ratio and thatnHis maximal near physiological duty ratios. Usingin vitromotility to determine the calcium sensitivity of TF sliding velocities, we measured pCa50andnHat different myosin densities and in the presence of ATPase inhibitors. The observed effects of myosin density and actin–myosin duty ratio on pCa50andnHare consistent with our model predictions. In striated muscle, pCa50must match cytosolic calcium concentrations and a maximalnHoptimizes calcium responsiveness. Our results indicate that pCa50andnHcan be predictably tuned through TF–myosin ATPase kinetics and that drugs and disease states that alter ATPase kinetics can, through their effects on calcium sensitivity, alter the efficiency of muscle contraction.
