Unloaded shortening speeds,V, of muscle are thought to be limited by actin-bound myosin heads that resist shortening, orV=a·d·τon−1whereτon−1is the rate at which myosin detaches from actin anddis myosin’s step size. Thea-term describes the efficiency of force transmission between myosin heads, and has been shown to become less than one at low myosin densities in a motility assay. Molecules such as inorganic phosphate (Pi), and blebbistatin inhibit bothVand actin-myosin strong binding kinetics suggesting a link betweenVand attachment kinetics. To determine whether these small molecules slowVby increasing resistance to actin sliding or by decreasing the efficiency of force transmission,a, we determine how inhibition ofVbyPiand blebbistatin changes the force exerted on actin filaments during anin vitrosliding assay, measured from changes in the rate,τbreak−1, at which actin filaments break. Upon addition of 30 mMPito a low (30μM) [ATP] motility bufferVdecreased from 1.8 to 1.3μm s−1andτbreak−1from 0.029 to 0.018 s−1. Upon addition of 50μM blebbistatin to a low [ATP] motility buffer,Vdecreased from 1.0 to 0.7μm s−1andτbreak−1from 0.059 to 0.022 s−1. These results imply that blebbistatin andPislowVby decreasing force transmission,a, not by increasing resistive forces, implying that actin-myosin attachment kinetics influenceV.
