The myosin X motor is optimized for movement on actin bundles
Nature Communications, 2016 Myosin X is a molecular motor unique in its ability to generate filopodia, but the mechanism explaining this behaviour is not known. Here, through a combination of structure, single-molecule assays and modelling the authors show that myosin X is ...

Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1994 During the course of esophageal motility studies, short zones of elevated esophageal baseline pressure are occasionally noticed. The aim of this study is to determine their frequency and their cause. Among 77 consecutive esophageal manometries (group 1),

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

OY: Asian motility studies in irritable bowel syndrome
, 2010 Altered motility remains one of the important pathophysiologic factors in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) who commonly complain of abdominal pain and stool changes such as diarrhea and constipation. The prevalence of IBS has in-creased among

Quantification of Cell Movement Reveals Distinct Edge Motility Types During Cell Spreading [PDF]
, 2007 Actin-based motility is central to cellular processes such as migration, bacterial engulfment, and cancer metastasis, and requires precise spatial and temporal regulation of the cytoskeleton.
