Single twitch fibers, dissected from frog muscle, were injected with the metallochromic dye Arsenazo III. Changes in dye-related absorbance measured at 650 or 660 nm were used to estimate the time course of myoplasmic free [Ca2+] following either action potential stimation or voltage-clamp depolarization (temperature, 15.degree.-17.degree. C). Computer simulations were carried out to estimate the flux of Ca2+ between the sr [sarcoplasmic reticulum] and myoplasm (in fibers containing no more than 0.8 mM-dye). Following action potential stimulation 0.2-0.3 mM-Ca2+ enters the myoplasm from the sr. The wave form of sr Ca2+ release is early and brief compared with the wave form of free [Ca2+]. Neither the selection of troponin rate constants nor the inclusion of parvalbumin has much effect on the shape of the release wave form; the main effect of varying these parameters is to change the magnitude. After the initial, rapid phase of Ca2+ release from the sr there is a longer, maintained period of Ca2+ uptake. The peak magnitude of this uptake divided by the concentration of sr Ca2+ pump sites is used to estimate the turnover rate of the sites. The numbers so obtained, 2.4-6.3 s-1, are in good agreement with previoulsy published values based on biochemical experiments. The known biochemical properties of the sr Ca2+ pump can explain the final phase of the computed sr Ca2+ flux and therefore, within the framework of the model, the falling phase of the free [Ca2+] transient. Simulations, based on Ca2+ transients obtained during a train of action potentials spaced 10 ms apart, indicate that sr Ca2+ release associated with a 2nd or subsequent action potential is no more than 20-30% of the release associated with the 1st action potential. Similarly, simulations based on Ca2+ transients measured in voltage-clamp experiments show that during a step depolarization near threshold the sr Ca2+ release reaches an early peak which is followed by a decline to a smaller level. These observations of reduced Ca2+ release appear to be more consistent with a decrease in sr Ca2+ permeability than with a decrease in driving force on the ion. The simulations show that the presence of intracellular binding sites for Ca2+ makes the estimate of the voltage dependence of sr CA2+ release less steep than that observed for the peak of the Ca2+ transient. For example, two experiments which showed a 3 mV e-fold change in peak free [Ca2+] required a 4 mV e-fold change for the peak of Ca2+ release. Inferences about Ca2+ movements between sr and myoplasm from measurements of myoplasmic free [Ca2+] are aided by the use of a quantitative model that takes into account the kinetic and steady-state properties of the known Ca2+-binding sites in myoplasm.
