Motor proteins transporting cargos
The European Physical Journal E, 2005 Processive motor proteins such as kinesin and myosin-V are enzymes that use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to travel along polar cytoskeletal filaments. One of the functions of these proteins is the transport of vesicles and protein complexes that are linked to the light chains of the motors. Modeling the light chain by a linear elastic spring, and using

Microtubules are responsible for chromosome segregation and the movement and reorganization of membranous organelles. Many aspects of microtubule-based motility can be attributed to the action of motor proteins, producing force directed toward either end of microtubules.

Trends in Cell Biology, 2003
Three protein motors have been unambiguously identified as rotary engines: the bacterial flagellar motor and the two motors that constitute ATP synthase (F(0)F(1) ATPase). Of these, the bacterial flagellar motor and F(0) motors derive their energy from a transmembrane ion-motive force, whereas the F(1) motor is driven by ATP hydrolysis. Here, we review

Yeast accomplish a variety of intracellular motile events with the aid of mechanochemical enzymes known as motor proteins. This review covers the current state of knowledge on myosins, kinesins, dyneins, dynamins and SMC proteins present in yeast cells, and the most important developments in the study of yeast mitosis.

Regularity and Synchrony in Motor Proteins
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2007We investigate the origin of the regularity and synchrony which have been observed in numerical experiments of two realistic models of molecular motors, namely Fisher-Kolomeisky's model of myosin V for vesicle transport in cells and Duke's model of myosin II for sarcomere shortening in muscle contraction.

Motor neurons rely on motor proteins
Trends in Cell Biology, 2004The importance of active axonal transport to the neuron has been highlighted by the recent discoveries that mutations in microtubule motor proteins result in neurodegenerative diseases. Mutations affecting microtubule motor function have been shown to cause hereditary forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (type 2A), hereditary spastic paraplegia and ...

Motor Proteins at Work for Nanotechnology
Science, 2007The biological cell is equipped with a variety of molecular machines that perform complex mechanical tasks such as cell division or intracellular transport. One can envision employing these biological motors in artificial environments. We review the progress that has been made in using motor proteins for powering or manipulating nanoscale components ...

Motor proteins are molecular machines that convert the chemical energy derived from the hydrolysis of ATP into mechanical work used to power cellular motility. In addition to specialized motile cells like muscle fibers and cellular processes like cilia, all eukaryotic cells contain motor proteins (Fig. 1).

The cell skeleton forms a scaffold, along which motor proteins can move. These proteins convert the chemical energy of ATP-hydrolysis into mechanical energy. Movement is unidirectional, either from minus to plus or vice versa. The most important systems are microfilament /myosin and microtubule /kinesin and -dynamin .

Mutational Analysis of Motor Proteins
Annual Review of Physiology, 1996Mutations in motor proteins, which can arise by design or randomly, provide powerful insights into the normal function of the protein. This review organizes the available data on mutations of members of the myosin, kinesin, and dynein superfamilies of motor proteins.
