Regulation of myosin 5a and myosin 7a
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2011The myosin superfamily is diverse in its structure, kinetic mechanisms and cellular function. The enzymatic activities of most myosins are regulated by some means such as Ca2+ ion binding, phosphorylation or binding of other proteins. In the present review, we discuss the structural basis for the regulation of mammalian myosin 5a and Drosophila myosin ...

WE have been led to regard myosin as a rather involved system of substances, in spite of the fact that it readily crystallizes and behaves as a homogeneous substance on recrystallization. It consists of a skeleton to which are adsorbed a number of protein like substances. The skeleton, and also the adsorbed proteins, are, in themselves, inactive, their

Myosins constitute a large superfamily of F-actin-based motor proteins found in many organisms from yeast to humans. A phylogenetic comparison of their head sequences has allowed them to be grouped into 15 different classes. Unconventional myosins can be monomeric or dimeric, but are thought not to form filaments, unlike conventional myosin. The double-

The number and variety of myosins that have been identified has increased greatly over the past few years, and is still growing. Myosins have been classified into at least six distinct classes. Research during the last year has concentrated on identifying the roles of various myosins.

Myosin XVI (Myo16), a vertebrate-specific motor protein, is a recently discovered member of the myosin superfamily. The detailed functionality regarding myosin XVI requires elucidating or clarification; however, it appears to portray an important role in neural development and in the proper functioning of the nervous system.

Although originally characterized as a cytoplasmic protein, myosin of various classes also performs key functions in the nucleus. We review the data concerning the nuclear localization, mechanism of entry, and functional interactions of myosin I, II, V, VI, X, XVI, and XVIII.

The myosin super family is an extended family of actin-based motor proteins that can be divided into 15-18 structurally distinct classes (Sellers, J.

Nearly five decades of research have established myosin as the main motor responsible for cytokinesis in organisms on the branch of the phylogenetic tree that includes amoebas, fungi and animals. This research has grown to be more mechanistic over the past decade, so we now have computer simulations of physically reasonable models that explain how ...

Abstract Myosin A molecules aggregate and form polymers of about 1 μ in length, when the ionic strength of pH of their solution is lowered. In 0.2 M KCl, myosin A is fulully dissociated at pH 7.3 and higher, but fully polymerized at pH 6.5 and lower.

Class XVIII myosins represent a branch of the myosin family tree characterized by the presence of large N- and C-terminal extensions flanking a generic myosin core. These myosins display the highest sequence similarity to conventional class II muscle myosins and are compatible with but not restricted to myosin-2 contractile structures.
