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 ...

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 ...

Cells, 2023 Dynamic regulation of myosin filaments is a crucial factor in the ability of airway smooth muscle (ASM) to adapt to a wide length range. Increased stability or robustness of myosin filaments may play a role in the pathophysiology of asthmatic airways ...

The ubiquitin ligase Ozz decreases the replacement rate of embryonic myosin in myofibrils
Physiological Reports, 2021 Myosin, the most abundant myofibrillar protein in skeletal muscle, functions as a motor protein in muscle contraction. Myosin polymerizes into the thick filaments in the sarcomere where approximately 50% of embryonic myosin (Myh3) are replaced within 3 h

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 ...

Discovery of Viral Myosin Genes With Complex Evolutionary History Within Plankton
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) infect diverse eukaryotes and form a group of viruses with capsids encapsulating large genomes. Recent studies are increasingly revealing a spectacular array of functions encoded in their genomes, including ...

Definite differences between in vitro actin-myosin sliding and muscle contraction as revealed using antibodies to myosin head. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Muscle contraction results from attachment-detachment cycles between myosin heads extending from myosin filaments and actin filaments. It is generally believed that a myosin head first attaches to actin, undergoes conformational changes to produce force ...

Gamma-radiation induced agglomeration of chicken muscle myosin and actine [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2004 Radiolytic behaviour of themajor vertebrate muscle proteins: fibrillarmyosin (molar mass, Mm = 520,000 g/mol) and filament forming actin (Mm = 42,050 g/mol) was studied using a SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and quantified by high precision laser-

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 ...
