Loss of Motor Protein MYO1C Causes Rhodopsin Mislocalization and Results in Impaired Visual Function [PDF]
Cells, 2021 Unconventional myosins, linked to deafness, are also proposed to play a role in retinal cell physiology. However, their direct role in photoreceptor function remains unclear.

Structures of kinesin motor proteins [PDF]
Cell Motility, 2009 AbstractAlmost 25 years of kinesin research have led to the accumulation of a large body of knowledge about this widespread superfamily of motor and nonmotor proteins present in all eukaryotic cells. This review covers developments in kinesin research with an emphasis on structural aspects obtained by X‐ray crystallography and cryoelectron microscopy 3‐

Reactive Astrocytes Promote ALS-like Degeneration and Intracellular Protein Aggregation in Human Motor Neurons by Disrupting Autophagy through TGF-β1 [PDF]
Stem Cell Reports, 2017 Summary: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal and rapidly progressing motor neuron disease. Astrocytic factors are known to contribute to motor neuron degeneration and death in ALS.

Temporal Patterns of Angular Displacement of Endosomes: Insights into Motor Protein Exchange Dynamics [PDF]
Advanced ScienceThe material transport system, facilitated by motor proteins, plays a vital role in maintaining a non‐equilibrium cellular state. However, understanding the temporal coordination of motor protein activity requires an advanced imaging technique capable of

Agl, the multitasking motor protein. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2013 ItIt slices, it dices, it cleans the kitchen sink. We've all heard of—and hailed the ingenious efficiency of—devices that perform more than one function. But humans don't have the corner on that market. A team led by Tâm Mignot and Morgane Wartel recently discovered that when the going gets rough, a common soil-inhabiting bacterium, Myxococcus xanthus,

The crowding dynamics of the motor protein kinesin-II. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Intraflagellar transport (IFT) in C. elegans chemosensory cilia is an example of functional coordination and cooperation of two motor proteins with distinct motility properties operating together in large groups to transport cargoes: a fast and ...

Unconventional Myosins from Caenorhabditis elegans as a Probe to Study Human Orthologues
Biomolecules, 2022 Unconventional myosins are a superfamily of actin-based motor proteins that perform a number of roles in fundamental cellular processes, including (but not limited to) intracellular trafficking, cell motility, endocytosis, exocytosis and cytokinesis.

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2018 Myosin motors power movements on actin filaments, whereas dynein and kinesin motors power movements on microtubules. The mechanisms of these motor proteins differ, but, in all cases, ATP hydrolysis and subsequent release of the hydrolysis products drives a cycle of interactions with the track (either an actin filament or a microtubule), resulting in ...
