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 ...

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 ...

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.

Expression of non-muscle type myosin heavy polypeptide 9 (MYH9) in mammalian cells
European Journal of Histochemistry, 2009 Myosin is a functional protein associated with cellular movement, cell division, muscle contraction and other functions. Members of the myosin super-family are distinguished from the myosin heavy chains that play crucial roles in cellular processes ...

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 ...

Myosin XVI in the Nervous System
Cells, 2020 The myosin family is a large inventory of actin-associated motor proteins that participate in a diverse array of cellular functions. Several myosin classes are expressed in neural cells and play important roles in neural functioning.
