Protein phosphatase 1 activity controls a balance between collective and single cell modes of migration

open access: yeseLife, 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

Expression of non-muscle type myosin heavy polypeptide 9 (MYH9) in mammalian cells

open access: yesEuropean 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 access: yesOpen 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

open access: yesCells, 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.

The coagulation of myosin in muscle [PDF]

open access: yes, 1937
The coagulation of myosin is one of the few changes in the proteins of muscle known to take place during contraction and rigor. Although under certain conditions as much as one-third of the total protein of muscle may become insoluble, the significance ...

Myosin chaperones

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Structural Biology, 2014
The folding and assembly of myosin motor proteins is essential for most movement processes at the cellular, but also at the organism level. Importantly, myosins, which represent a very diverse family of proteins, require the activity of general and specialized folding factors to develop their full motor function.

Structural dynamics of myosin 5 during processive motion revealed by interferometric scattering microscopy

open access: yeseLife, 2015
Myosin 5a is a dual-headed molecular motor that transports cargo along actin filaments. By following the motion of individual heads with interferometric scattering microscopy at nm spatial and ms temporal precision we found that the detached head ...

Discovery of (S)-3′-hydroxyblebbistatin and (S)-3′-aminoblebbistatin : polar myosin II inhibitors with superior research tool properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In search of myosin II inhibitors with superior research tool properties, a chemical optimization campaign of the blebbistatin scaffold was conducted in this paper. (S)-Blebbistatin is the best known small-molecule inhibitor of myosin II ATPase activity.

Skeletal Muscle Protein Composition Adaptations to 10 Weeks of High-Load Resistance Training in Previously-Trained Males

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2020
While high-load resistance training increases muscle hypertrophy, the intramuscular protein responses to this form of training remains largely unknown. In the current study, recreationally resistance-trained college-aged males (N = 15; mean ± SD: 23 ± 3 ...

Gamma-radiation induced agglomeration of chicken muscle myosin and actine [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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-
