We studied pre- and postnatal changes in total creatine kinase (CK) activity, mitochondrial creatine kinase (Mi-CK) activity and immunochemical reactivity with anti-Mi-CK antibodies in skeletal muscle specimens from 12 infants, 10 of them preterm born, after a pregnancy varying between 28 and 40 weeks. Our results demonstrate that Mi-CK is present in fetal human quadriceps muscle and that the specific activity of Mi-CK increases during prenatal development from week 28 to 40 by a factor about two. Generally, adult levels have not been reached at birth, indicating a further postnatal increase of the activity of the enzyme. The Mi-CK protein content also increases during prenatal development. These results suggest that in human skeletal muscle the expression and accumulation of Mi-CK starts at mid-gestation, later than is known to occur for cytosolic CK.

Defects in the mitochondrial energy generating system in patients with a mitochondrial myopathy are known to be localized in various enzyme complexes involved in energy production. Such a defect may exist at the level of mitochondrial creatine kinase (Mi-CK). On that account we have developed a method for measurement of the enzyme activity in human skeletal muscle biopsy material (> 10 mg). Interfering creatine kinase isoenzymes are removed by anion exchange and affinity chromatography. The activity of Mi-CK in reference skeletal muscle homogenates amounts to 240±88 mU/mg protein (30±8·0 mU/mg wet weight).

Creatine kinase (CK) provides ATP buffering in skeletal muscle and is expressed as 1) cytosolic myofibrillar CK (M-CK) and 2) sarcomeric mitochondrial CK (ScCKmit) isoforms that differ in their subcellular localization. The diaphragm (Dia) expresses both M-CK and ScCKmit in abundance. We compared the power and work output of 1) control CK-sufficient (Ctl), 2) M-CK-deficient [M-CK(−/−)], 3) ScCKmit-deficient [ScCKmit(−/−)], and 4) combined M-CK/ScCKmit-deficient null mutant [CK(−/−)] Dia during repetitive isotonic activations to determine the effect of CK phenotype on Dia function. Maximum power was obtained at ∼0.4 tetanic force in all groups. M-CK(−/−) and ScCKmit(−/−) Dia were able to sustain power and work output at Ctl levels during repetitive isotonic activation (75 Hz, 330-ms duration repeated each second at 0.4 tetanic force load), and the duration of sustained Dia shortening was 67 ± 4 s in M-CK(−/−), 60 ± 4 s in ScCKmit(−/−), and 62 ± 5 s in Ctl Dia. In contrast, CK(−/−) Dia power and work declined acutely and failed to sustain shortening altogether by 40 ± 6 s. We conclude that Dia power and work output are not absolutely dependent on the presence of either M-CK or ScCKmit, whereas the complete absence of CK acutely impairs Dia shortening capacity during repetitive activation.

In human gastrocnemius muscle obtained from long-distance runners, mitochondrial creatine kinase (CK) activities were significantly greater than nonrunning control skeletal muscle and significantly increased during training for and after a marathon race. Thus skeletal muscle tended to become similar to heart muscle in its mitochondrial CK composition. Total muscle CK activity was significantly different in males and females, was unaffected by marathon training and racing, and was similar to gastrocnemius muscle obtained from nonrunning controls. There was an inverse correlation between the maximum O2 uptake and the percentage increase in mitochondrial CK activity after training. These studies suggest that mitochondrial CK may play a key role in the intracellular transport of energy from mitochondrial to myofibrils in skeletal muscle during endurance exercise such as long-distance running.

Muscle contraction requires high energy fluxes, which are supplied by MM-CK (muscle-type creatine kinase) which couples to the myofibril. However, little is known about the detailed molecular mechanisms of how MM-CK participates in and is regulated during muscle contraction. In the present study, MM-CK is found to physically interact with the slow skeletal muscle-type MyBPC1 (myosin-binding protein C1). The interaction between MyBPC1 and MM-CK depended on the creatine concentration in a dose-dependent manner, but not on ATP, ADP or phosphocreatine. The MyBPC1–CK interaction favoured acidic conditions, and the two molecules dissociated at above pH 7.5. Domain-mapping experiments indicated that MM-CK binds to the C-terminal domains of MyBPC1, which is also the binding site of myosin. The functional coupling of myosin, MyBPC1 and MM-CK is further corroborated using an ATPase activity assay in which ATP expenditure accelerates upon the association of the three proteins, and the apparent Km value of myosin is therefore reduced. The results of the present study suggest that MyBPC1 acts as an adaptor to connect the ATP consumer (myosin) and the regenerator (MM-CK) for efficient energy metabolism and homoeostasis.
