Glycolytic regulation during an aerobic rest-to-work transition in dog gracilis muscle

R. J. Connett
Department of Physiology, School of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Rochester, New York 14642.

Glycogen phosphorylase activity and several glycolytic intermediates were measured at rest and after 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, and 180 s of twitch stimulation at 4 Hz in fast-frozen samples of gracilis muscle. During an initial burst of glycolysis (0-5 s) only 3-phosphoglycerate and lactate accumulate. These changes are reversed during the period of low glycolytic flux (5-30 s). During a second burst of glycolysis (30-60 s) most glycolytic intermediates increase. The levels of glycogen phosphorylase a changes in parallel with the initial burst of glycolysis but remain at resting levels throughout the second burst. The phosphoglycerate mutase-enolase steps deviate from equilibrium during the initial burst of glycolysis, suggesting a transiently rate-limiting role. Analysis using a model of phosphofructokinase kinetics indicates that combined changes in cytosolic pH (R. J. Connett, J. Appl. Physiol. 63: 2360-2365, 1987) and free [ADP] and [AMP] can account for the initial burst of glycolysis. The second burst of glycolysis requires other regulatory factors. It is concluded that an initial alkalization is a major regulatory factor in the early burst of glycolysis during a rest-to-work transition in red muscle.
