Myosin II motor proteins with different functions determine the fate of lamellipodia extension during cell spreading. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Non-muscle cells express multiple myosin-II motor proteins myosin IIA, myosin IIB and myosin IIC transcribed from different loci in the human genome. Due to a significant homology in their sequences, these ubiquitously expressed myosin II motor proteins ...

Diverse integrin adhesion stoichiometries caused by varied actomyosin activity [PDF]
Open Biology, 2017 Cells in an organism are subjected to numerous sources of external and internal forces, and are able to sense and respond to these forces. Integrin-mediated adhesion links the extracellular matrix outside cells to the cytoskeleton inside, and ...

Contiguity and Structural Impacts of a Non-Myosin Protein within the Thick Filament Myosin Layers
Biology, 2021 Myosin dimers arranged in layers and interspersed with non-myosin densities have been described by cryo-EM 3D reconstruction of the thick filament in Lethocerus at 5.5 Å resolution.

Secondary Structure of the Novel Myosin Binding Domain WYR and Implications within Myosin Structure
Biology, 2021 Structural changes in the myosin II light meromyosin (LMM) that influence thick filament mechanical properties and muscle function are modulated by LMM-binding proteins.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006 Myosins are a diverse family of actin-based molecular motors that appeared early in eukaryotic evolution. Just how early, and how diverse, has begun to become clear from work that appears in this issue of PNAS (1) and recent work from Nature (2). For most of its existence, the term “myosin” applied only to the actin-activated ATPase that forms the ...

Characterization and analysis of myosin gene family in the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci)
AIMS Molecular Science, 2022 Myosin is an actin-based motor protein that widely exists in muscle tissue and non-muscle tissue, and myosin of a diverse subfamily has obvious differences in structure and cell function.

Myosin II filament dynamics in actin networks revealed with interferometric scattering microscopy [PDF]
, 2020 The plasma membrane and the underlying cytoskeletal cortex constitute active platforms for a variety of cellular processes. Recent work has shown that the remodeling acto-myosin network modifies local membrane organization, but the molecular details are ...

Stratification relieves constraints from steric hindrance in the generation of compact acto-myosin asters at the membrane cortex [PDF]
, 2020 Recent in-vivo studies have revealed that several membrane proteins are driven to form nanoclusters by active contractile flows arising from F-actin and myosin at the cortex. The mechanism of clustering was shown to be arising from the dynamic patterning

eLife, 2020 Collective cell migration is central to many developmental and pathological processes. However, the mechanisms that keep cell collectives together and coordinate movement of multiple cells are poorly understood. Using the Drosophila border cell migration

Biology Open, 2021 The fundamental basis of muscle contraction ‘the sliding filament model’ (Huxley and Niedergerke, 1954; Huxley and Hanson, 1954) and the ‘swinging, tilting crossbridge-sliding filament mechanism’ (Huxley, 1969; Huxley and Brown, 1967) nucleated a field ...
