Multifaceted Function of Myosin-18, an Unconventional Class of the Myosin Superfamily
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Myosin is a diverse superfamily of motor proteins responsible for actin-based motility and contractility in eukaryotic cells. Myosin-18 family, including myosin-18A and myosin-18B, belongs to an unconventional class of myosin, which lacks ATPase motor ...

eLife, 2021 Morphogens function in concentration-dependent manners to instruct cell fate during tissue patterning. The cytoneme morphogen transport model posits that specialized filopodia extend between morphogen-sending and responding cells to ensure that ...

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 ...

Frontiers in Physics, 2022 The cytoskeleton–a composite network of biopolymers, molecular motors, and associated binding proteins–is a paradigmatic example of active matter. Particle transport through the cytoskeleton can range from anomalous and heterogeneous subdiffusion to ...

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 ...

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.

Biochemical Journal, 1935 Whereas most proteins so far studied show spreading at their isoelectric points or on strongly acid solutions (we have examined more or less thoroughly ovalbumin, zein, gliadin, insulin, pepsin, trypsin, ovoglobulin, ovomucoid, caseinogen, globin and haemoglobin) some proteins do not spread, when tested by our usual technique. Gelatin is a bad spreader
