Myosin VI Rewrites the Rules for Myosin Motors [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2010
Myosin VI is the only type of myosin motor known to move toward the minus ends of actin filaments. This reversal in the direction of its movement is in part a consequence of the repositioning of its lever arm. In addition, myosin VI has a number of other specialized structural and functional adaptations that optimize performance of its unique cellular ...

Mammalian Myosin-18A, a Highly Divergent Myosin [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2013
The Mus musculus myosin-18A gene is expressed as two alternatively spliced isoforms, α and β, with reported roles in Golgi localization, in maintenance of cytoskeleton, and as receptors for immunological surfactant proteins. Both myosin-18A isoforms feature a myosin motor domain, a single predicted IQ motif, and a long coiled-coil reminiscent of myosin-

Differential expression of adhesion moleculesshaping the T-cell subset prevalence during the early phase of autoimmune and Trypanosoma cruzi-elicited myocarditis

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2003
The participation of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) in the establishment of autoimmune and infectious myocarditis is an important matter of investigation and may have therapeutic implication. Trypanosoma cruzi infection induces a CD8-mediated myocarditis

SE-HPLC separation of myosin complex with tannins from bearberries (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi L. Sprengel) leaves - a short report.

open access: yesCzech Journal of Food Sciences, 2009
Phenolic compounds were extracted from bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi L. Sprengel) leaves into 95% (v/v) ethanol. The tannin constituents were separated from the crude extract using Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography with 95% (v/v) ethanol and 50% (

Effect of the Partial Substitution of NaCl with L-Arg on the Gel Properties and Aggregation Behavior of Beef Myosin

open access: yesFoods
With 0.3 M KCl replacing NaCl, the effect of L-Arg on beef myosin’s gel, structure, and aggregation was investigated. L-Arg could enhance hydrogen and ionic bonds, increasing myosin solubility and reducing turbidity.

The effect of Arginine, Lysine and Histidine in the myosin secondary structure by circular dichroism and Raman spectroscopy

open access: yesCyTA - Journal of Food, 2019
Amino acids containing L-Arginine (Arg), L-Lysine (Lys) and L-Histidine (His) are recognized to increase the solubility of myosin at low ionic strength, but there is a difference in the researchers’ views on their effects on the secondary structure of ...

The Effect of Age on the Myosin Thermal Stability and Gel Quality of Beijing Duck Breast

open access: yesFood Science of Animal Resources, 2020
The effect of age (22, 30, 38, and 46 days) on Beijing duck breast myosin gels was investigated. The results showed that the water holding capacity (WHC) and gel strength were markedly improved at the age of 30 days.
