Abstract	The contribution of thick and thin filaments to skeletal muscle fiber compliance has been shown to be significant. If similar to the compliance of cycling cross-bridges, myofilament compliance could explain the difference in time course of stiffness and force during the rise of tension in a tetanus as well as the difference in Ca(2+) sensitivity of force and stiffness and more rapid phase 2 tension recovery (r) at low Ca(2+) activation. To characterize the contribution of myofilament compliance to sarcomere compliance and isometric force kinetics, the Ca(2+)-activation dependence of sarcomere compliance in single glycerinated rabbit psoas fibers, in the presence of ATP (5.0 mM), was measured using rapid length steps. At steady sarcomere length, the dependence of sarcomere compliance on the level of Ca(2+)-activated force was similar in form to that observed for fibers in rigor where force was varied by changing length. Additionally, the ratio of stiffness/force was elevated at lower force (low [Ca(2+)]) and r was faster, compared with maximum activation. A simple series mechanical model of myofilament and cross-bridge compliance in which only strong cross-bridge binding was activation dependent was used to describe the data. The model fit the data and predicted that the observed activation dependence of r can be explained if myofilament compliance contributes 60-70% of the total fiber compliance, with no requirement that actomyosin kinetics be [Ca(2+)] dependent or that cooperative interactions contribute to strong cross-bridge binding.
