1. Intramembrane charge movements and changes in intracellular calcium concentration were recorded simultaneously in voltage clamped cut skeletal muscle fibres of the frog in the presence and absence of tetracaine. 2. Extracellular application of 20 microM tetracaine reduced the increase in myoplasmic [Ca2+]. The effect on the underlying calcium release flux from the sarcoplasmic reticulum was to suppress the peak of the release while sparing the steady level attained at the end of 100 ms clamp depolarizations. 3. While the peak of the release flux at corresponding voltages was reduced by 62% after the addition of tetracaine, the rate of inactivation was the same when the pulses elicited release fluxes of similar amplitude. 4. Higher concentrations of tetracaine, 0.2 mM, abolished the calcium signal in stretched fibres whereas in slack fibres this concentration left a non-inactivating calcium release flux. 5. Lowering the extracellular pH antagonized the effect of the drug both on charge movements and on calcium signals. The permanently charged analogue tetracaine methobromide lacked effects on excitation-contraction coupling. 6. These results imply that the two kinetic components of calcium release flux have very different tetracaine sensitivities. They are also consistent with an intracellular site of action of the drug at low concentration. Taken together they strongly suggest that the inactivating and non-inactivating components of calcium release correspond to different pathways: one that inactivates, is sensitive to tetracaine and is controlled by calcium, and another that does not inactivate, is much less sensitive to tetracaine and is directly controlled by voltage.
