Intra-sarcomeric gradients of Ca$^2+$ during activation of action
potential stimulated frog single fibres were investigated with the
Ca$^2+$ indicator fluo-3 and confocal and two-photon microscopy.
The object of these experiments was to look for evidence of extra-junctional
Ca$^2+$ release and examine the microscopic diffusion of Ca$^2+$
within the sarcomere. By exploiting the spatial periodicity of sarcomeres
within the fibre, we could achieve a high effective line-scanning
rate ( approximately 8000 lines s-1), although the laser scanning
microscope was limited to < 1000 lines s-1. At this high time resolution,
the time course of fluorescence changes was very different at the
z- and m-lines, with a significant delay ( approximately 1 ms; 22
C) between the rise of fluorescence at the z-line and the m-line.
To calculate the expected fluorescence changes, we used a multi-compartment
model of Ca$^2+$ movements in the half-sarcomere in which Ca$^2+$
release was restricted to triadic junctions (located at z-lines).
Optical blurring by the microscope was simulated to generate fluorescence
signals which could be compared directly to experimental data. The
model which reproduced our experimental findings most accurately
included Ca$^2+$ binding by ATP, as well as indicator binding
to immobile sarcomeric proteins. After taking sarcomeric misregistration
within the fibre into account, there was very good agreement between
the model and experimental results. We conclude that there is no
experimental evidence for Ca$^2+$ release at locations other
than at z-lines. In addition, our calculations support the conclusion
that rapidly diffusing Ca$^2+$ buffers (such as ATP) are important
in shaping the Ca$^2+$ transient and that the details of intracellular
indicator binding need to be considered to explain correctly the
time course of fluorescence change in the fibre.
