1. The relationship between myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms and high energy phosphate content was studied in human muscle fibres at rest and following maximal dynamic exercise lasting 25 s. 2. Single fibre fragments were characterized as type I, type IIA, type IIX or type IIAX. These latter fibres were subdivided into five groups on the basis of the proportion of MyHC IIX isoform present. 3. Resting ATP concentration in type I fibres was 10% lower than in type II fibres (P < 0.05), but no differences were found amongst type IIA, IIX and IIAX fibre groups. Phosphocreatine (PCr) content was lower in type I than in type II fibres (P < 0.01) and, amongst type II fibres, increased progressively with the amounts of MyHC IIX expressed. 4. After 25 s of maximal dynamic exercise ATP concentration was reduced in all fibres. The decrease was approximately 25% in type I fibres and between 47 and 66% in the type II subgroups. 5. Post-exercise PCr content was low in all fibre types. Fibre groups with the lowest post-exercise PCr also had the lowest ATP and the highest inosine monophosphate contents. delta PCr (rest to post-exercise) was smallest in type I fibres and showed a progressive increase in the type II fibre groups as the proportion of the faster IIX myosin heavy chain isoform increased.

D009218 Myosins A diverse superfamily of proteins that function as translocating proteins. They share the common characteristics of being able to bind ACTINS and hydrolyze MgATP. Myosins generally consist of heavy chains which are involved in locomotion, and light chains which are involved in regulation. Within the structure of myosin heavy chain are three domains: the head, the neck and the tail. The head region of the heavy chain contains the actin binding domain and MgATPase domain which provides energy for locomotion. The neck region is involved in binding the light-chains. The tail region provides the anchoring point that maintains the position of the heavy chain. The superfamily of myosins is organized into structural classes based upon the type and arrangement of the subunits they contain.
