    The isometric tension of single fibers isolated from glycerinated rabbit psoas muscle was measured at various temperatures using Mg-ITP as a substrate. The tension developed in Mg-ITP decreased linearly as the temperature was reduced from 24 degrees C to 4 degrees C. Myosin formed the myosin--product complex predominantly via ATP hydrolysis at the burst site during Mg-ATP hydrolysis, irrespective of temperature, and the tension developed in Mg-ATP decreased linearly as the temperature decreased (Yoshida and Tawada (1976) J. Biochem. 80, 861). During Mg-ITP hydrolysis, myosin forms the myosin*-product complex predominantly at the burst site above 20 degrees C, while myosin forms the myosin*-substrate complex below 8 degrees C (Hozumi (1976) Eur. J. Biochem. 63, 241). However, the temperature dependence of tension development in Mg-ITP is linear, as with Mg-ATP, as mentioned above. This temperature dependence is not compatible with some muscle models which assume the formation of the myosin*-product complex by cross-bridges prior to combination with actin during contraction.
