Simulated actin reorganization mediated by motor proteins. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2022 Cortical actin networks are highly dynamic and play critical roles in shaping the mechanical properties of cells. The actin cytoskeleton undergoes significant reorganization in many different contexts, including during directed cell migration and over ...

Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol, 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 ...

Flagellar brake protein YcgR interacts with motor proteins MotA and FliG to regulate the flagellar rotation speed and direction [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 In E. coli and related species, flagellar brake protein YcgR responds to the elevated intracellular c-di-GMP, decreases the flagellar rotation speed, causes a CCW rotation bias, and regulates bacterial swimming. Boehm et al.

Life without double-headed non-muscle myosin II motor proteins
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2014 Non-muscle myosin II motor proteins (myosin IIA, myosin IIB, and myosin IIC) belong to a class of molecular motor proteins that are known to transduce cellular free-energy into biological work more efficiently than man-made combustion engines. Nature has

Navigation Strategies of Motor Proteins on Decorated Tracks. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Motor proteins display widely different stepping patterns as they move on microtubule tracks, from the deterministic linear or helical motion performed by the protein kinesin to the uncoordinated random steps made by dynein.

Engineered kinesin motor proteins amenable to small-molecule inhibition [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2016 The use of specific small molecule inhibitors can contribute to the study of kinesins' cellular functions. Here the authors develop a chemical-genetic approach to engineer kinesin motors that can be efficiently inhibited upon addition of cell-permeable ...
