After 10 wash cycles, 0.8 u.e. of creatine kinase activity remained bound per mg of chicken pectoralis myofibrils which had been freed of soluble creatine kinase, mitochondria, and membranes. The bound creatine kinase is located at the M-band and contributes to the electron density of this sarcomeric structure (Wallimann, T., Pelloni, G.W., Turner, D.C., and Eppenberger, H. M. (1978) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 75, 4296-4300). By measuring the combined actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase and creatine kinase reactions of myofibrils by pH-stat, it was shown that the amount of M-line-bound creatine kinase activity was sufficient to rephosphorylate the ATP hydrolyzed in vitro by the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase. The amount of M-line-bound creatine kinase and thus the ATP regeneration potential depended on the muscle type. It was higher in fast muscles and lower in slow muscles. Inhibition of myofibrillar creatine kinase or extraction of the M-line-bound enzyme abolished the ATP regeneration potential without affecting ATPase activity. Inhibitors of myokinase, mitochondrial ADP/ATP translocase, and respiration did not affect the ATP regeneration potential or the ATPase. M-line-bound creatine kinase, sufficient to support an ATP turnover rate of 6s-1 per myosin head, seems to have the capacity for the intramyofibrillar regeneration of most or all of the ATP hydrolyzed by the myofibrillar ATPase during muscle contraction. Thus, M-line-bound creatine kinase at the myofibrillar receiving end of the phosphorylcreatine shuttle is of physiological significance.

In isolated and purified cardiac myofibrillar and sarcolemmal preparations, the route of movement of ADP produced in the Mg2+-ATPase reactions was studied by investigating the efficiency of competition between the endogenous creatine kinase and exogenous pyruvate kinase reactions. In the homogeneous control system composed of hexokinase and glucose as ATPase, soluble creatine kinase rapidly rephosphorylated ADP produced in the presence of 1 mM ATP, but the addition of pyruvate kinase in an increasing amount inhibited the reaction of creatine release from phosphocreatine and symmetrically increased the rate of pyruvate production from phosphoenol pyruvate. At a pyruvate-kinase/creatine-kinase activity ratio (PK/CK) of 50, all ADP was used by the pyruvate kinase. In myofibrillar and sarcolemmal preparations containing particulate creatine kinase, the creatine kinase reaction was much less efficiently suppressed by pyruvate kinase, and at PK/CK = 50 half-maximal release of creatine was still observed. The rate of immediate myofibrillar MgADP rephosphorylation in the endogenous creatine-kinase reaction was observed to be governed by the concentration of phosphocreatine in accordance with the kinetics of this enzyme. The physiological significance of these findings is discussed.
