title: [Myofibrillar creatine kinase: reversible binding to contractile proteins, stoichiometric ratio to myosin and its functional role].
abstract: Rat heart myofibrils were isolated and purified in three different media: sucrose medium; EGTA medium; EGTA+ATP medium. All preparations were characterized by similar Ca2+-sensitive ATPase activities and were practically free of mitochondrial and sarcolemmal contaminations. However, they contained different amounts of creatine kinase. In preparations which showed the most intact ultrastructure, the activity of creatine kinase was 0.99 +/- 0.12 IU/mg. It was found that creatine kinase can be bound to myofibrils in a reversible manner with Kd = 0.16 mg/ml = 1.8 X 10(-6) M; the creatine kinase/myosin ratio was estimated to be approximately 1:10. The localization of creatine kinase was found to be a basis for the high turnover rate of ATP in the coupled creatine kinase and ATPase reactions occurring in cardiac myofibrils.
