Structure of the Inhibited Smooth Muscle Myosin and Its Implications on the Regulation of Insect Striated Muscle Myosin

Life
Class II myosin (myosin-2) is an actin-based motor protein found in nearly all eukaryotes. One critical question is how the motor function of myosin-2 is regulated. Vertebrate myosin-2 comprises non-muscle myosin, smooth muscle myosin and striated muscle

Three-dimensional geometrical changes of the human tibialis anterior muscle and its central aponeurosis measured with three-dimensional ultrasound during isometric contractions [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Background. Muscles not only shorten during contraction to perform mechanical work, but they also bulge radially because of the isovolumetric constraint on muscle fibres.

Identification of a third myosin-5a-melanophilin interaction that mediates the association of myosin-5a with melanosomes

eLife
Transport and localization of melanosome at the periphery region of melanocyte are depended on myosin-5a (Myo5a), which associates with melanosome by interacting with its adaptor protein melanophilin (Mlph).

Stressor-Induced Increase in Muscle Fatigability of Young Men and Women is Predicted by Strength but Not Voluntary Activation [PDF]

, 2014
This study investigated mechanisms for the stressor-induced changes in muscle fatigability in men and women. Participants performed an isometric-fatiguing contraction at 20% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) until failure with the elbow flexor muscles.

Determination of Dissociation Constants for the Interaction of Myosin-5a with its Cargo Protein Using Microscale Thermophoresis (MST)

Bio-Protocol
Myosin-5a (Myo5a) is an actin-dependent molecular motor that recognizes a diverse range of cargo proteins through its tail domain, playing a crucial role in the transport and localization of various organelles within the cell.

Dynamics of PO2 and VO2 in resting and contracting rat spinotrapezius muscle

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
This study examined changes in interstitial PO2, which allowed calculation of VO2 during periods of rest, muscle contraction and recovery using an in situ rat spinotrapezius muscle preparation.

Upper Limbs Muscle Co-contraction Changes Correlated With the Impairment of the Corticospinal Tract in Stroke Survivors: Preliminary Evidence From Electromyography and Motor-Evoked Potential

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
ObjectiveIncreased muscle co-contraction of the agonist and antagonist muscles during voluntary movement is commonly observed in the upper limbs of stroke survivors. Much remain to be understood about the underlying mechanism.
