Prof. Gerald H. Pollack University of Washington, USA “Professor Haruo Sugi continues his valuable tradition of regular compendia of important reviews by leading experts in the field of muscle research. The reviews cover skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle as well as cell motility. Some of the reviews are didactic, while others shed new light on old concepts. The volume is packed with useful, in-depth information for the newcomer and the expert alike.” Dr. Pradeep Luther Imperial College London, UK “For over more than two decades, the muscle symposia organized by Prof. Haruo Sugi have allowed both young and seasoned muscle scientists to confront new data and new hypotheses. The present book includes a fascinating chapter by Sugi himself where the fundamental event of the myosin power stroke is studied afresh with a new powerful EM technique.” Prof. Jean-Marie Gillis University of Louvain, Belgium “It is widely believed that the mechanisms of muscle contraction and its regulation have been completely understood, but the reality is quite different, as highlighted in this book. Although the sliding mechanism of contraction and the regulatory role of Ca2+ have been established, the structural changes of the protein assembly responsible for these mechanisms have not been elucidated yet. This book concretely indicates where the future challenges lie concerning the mechanisms of muscle contraction and motility of non-muscle cells.” Prof. Shin’ichi Ishiwata Waseda University, Japan This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current progress in muscle contraction and cell motility research. It discusses structural, mechanical, and biochemical characteristics of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles, and cell motility. The experimental objects of the studies described in this volume extend from humans to molecules. A distinct feature of this volume is that, in some chapters, evidence against the textbook view is presented, showing how well-established dogma can be denied by an unexpected discovery. This book is as interesting as it is informative for general readers and young scientists alike, and it is sure to inspire both to challenge the enticing mysteries that still remain in this exciting research field.

From 1965 to 1966, he worked at Columbia University as a research associate and at the National Institutes of Health as a visiting scientist. He was a professor in and chairman of the Department of Physiology, Teikyo University Medical School, Japan, from 1973 to 2004, when he became emeritus professor. Muscle Contraction and Cell Motility “Sugi’s book provides an extensive collection of the latest and most up-to-date aspects of the field of muscle contraction from the leaders of the field. Especially appealing are the frank critiques of the current models, which provide abundant food for thought. I heartily encourage anyone interested in the field to devour the contents of this informative book.” Muscle Contraction and Cell Motility Fundamentals and Developments edited by Haruo Sugi Muscle Contraction and Cell Motility Muscle Contraction and Cell Motility Fundamentals and Developments editors Preben Maegaard Anna Krenz Wolfgang Palz edited by Haruo Sugi The Rise of Modern Wind Energy Wind Power for the World Published by Pan Stanford Publishing Pte.

One of the most attractive features of living organisms is their ability to move. In vertebrate animals, including humans, their body movement is produced by skeletal muscles, which are also called striated muscle due to their cross-striations. In the mid-1950s, H. E. Huxley and Hanson made a monumental discovery that the skeletal muscle consists of hexagonal lattice of two different myofilaments, i.e., actin and myosin filaments, and that muscle contraction results from relative sliding between actin and myosin filaments. Concerning the mechanism of the myofilament sliding, Huxley put forward a hypothesis that myosin heads (cross-bridges) extending from myosin filaments first attach to actin, undergo conformational changes to cause unitary filament sliding, and then detach from actin, each attachment-detachment cycle being coupled with ATP hydrolysis. Despite extensive studies having been carried out up to the present time, the myosin head movement still remains to be a matter of debate and speculation. The text is organized into three parts. Part I contains nine chapters on the current progress in contraction characteristics and mechanical properties of the skeletal muscle. In Chapter 1, Sugi et al. describe their recent success in the electron microscopic recording of the myosin head movement coupled with ATP hydrolysis by using the gas environmental chamber, which enables the study of dynamic structural changes of living biomolecules related to their function. In Chapter 2, Squire and Knupp summarize the results obtained by using the time-resolved X-ray diffraction technique, detecting structural changes of myofilaments in contracting muscle in a non-invasive manner, and point out problems in interpreting the results. In Chapter 3, Bartels emphasizes the essential role of ions in muscle contraction, a topic generally ignored by muscle investigators. In Chapter 4, Sugi et al. point out that the results obtained from in vitro motility xviii Contents assay systems, in which actin filaments are made to interact with myosin heads detached from myosin filaments, may bear no direct relation to myofilament sliding in muscle. In Chapter 5, Ranatunga discusses the mechanism of force generation in the muscle based on his temperature-jump experiments. The 3D myofilament-lattice structure is known to be maintained by a network of a large protein, titin. Cecchi et al. in Chapter 6 and Rassier et al. in Chapter 7 show that Ca2+-dependent stiffness changes of titin play an important role in muscle mechanical performance. For a full understanding of skeletal muscle performance in humans, it is useful to measure stiffness of the contracting human muscle by means of supersonic shear imaging (SSI). In Chapter 8, Sasaki and Ishii explain the theoretical background of SSI together with the results obtained from the contracting human skeletal muscle. In Chapter 9, Colombini et al. discuss the mechanism underlying muscle fatigue. Readers of this volume may become aware of discrepancies between what are stated in some chapters in this part and what are generally stated in many textbooks. We emphasize that these discrepancies reflect the general features of science in progress. Well-established dogmas in a scientific field can be denied by an unexpected discovery. Part II consists of three chapters on the cardiac muscle and two chapters on the smooth muscle. The cardiac muscle also exhibits cross-striations and plays an essential role in blood circulation in the animal body. In Chapter 10, Stienen gives an extensive overview on various factors affecting the rate of ATP utilization of skeletal and cardiac muscles in a variety of animals, including humans. In Chapter 11, Morano also gives an extensive overview on the role of myosin essential light chain in regulating myosin function in skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles, based on the crystallographic structure of myosin molecule. In Chapter 12 by Minamisawa deals with proteins involved in Ca2+ cycling in cardiac muscle by citing vast literature in this clinically important research field. Smooth muscles do not show striations because of irregular arrangement of myofilaments, though their contraction mechanism is believed to be similar to that in skeletal and cardiac muscles. In Chapter 13, Kobayashi discusses factors that affect vascular smooth muscle diseases, including his recent interesting finding. Chapter 14, by Galler, is concerned with the Contents so-called catch mechanism in the molluscan somatic smooth muscle, which is highly specialized to maintain tension over a long period with little energy expenditure. Finally, Part III contains three chapters on cell motility. In Chapter 15, Shingyoji presents a comprehensive overview of the factors that influence the oscillatory movement of cilia and flagella caused by sliding between dynein and microtubule. In Chapter 16, Iwadate discusses crawling cell migration, which is caused by actin polymerization as well as actin–myosin interaction and is involved in a variety of biological phenomena, including wound healing and immune system function. In Chapter 17, Uyeda gives an extensive survey of the research on the role of actin filaments and actin-binding proteins in producing a wide range of cell activities. This book constitutes a fascinating collection of overviews on muscle contraction and cell motility written by first-class investigators and not only provides information for general readers about the current progress and controversies in each research field but also stimulate young investigators to start challenging remaining mysteries in these exciting research fields.
