The efflux of 42K from single, skinned (sarcolemma removed) skeletal muscle fibers has been determined. Isotope washout curves are kinetically complex and can be fit as the sum of three exponentials, including a fast component (k = 0.25 s-1) with a pool size equivalent to 91% of the fiber volume, an intermediate component (k = 0.08 s-1) equivalent to 6% of the fiber volume, and a slow component (k = 0.08 s-1) equivalent to 0.5% of fiber volume. Only the intermediate kinetic component is significantly affected by pretreatment of fibers with detergent. Efflux curves from detergent-treated fibers could be as fit as the sum of two exponentials with coefficients and rate constants comparable to those of the fast and slow component of washout of untreated controls. Similarly the washout of [14C]sucrose can be described as the sum of two exponentials. We conclude that the intermediate component of 42K washout results from the movement of ions from a membrane bound space within the skinned fiber. Because of its relative volume, the sarcoplasmic reticulum seems to be a reasonable choice as a structural correlate with this component. Our estimate of the potassium permeability for the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) based on the efflux data is 10-7 cm/s. This value is less than previous estimates from isolated preparations.
