von Willebrand factor binding to myosin assists in coagulation
Blood Advances, 2020 : von Willebrand factor (VWF) binds to platelets and collagen as a means of facilitating coagulation at sites of injury. Recent evidence has shown that myosin can serve as a surface for thrombin generation and binds to activated factor V and factor X. We

Myosin II isoforms play distinct roles in adherens junction biogenesis
eLife, 2019 Adherens junction (AJ) assembly under force is essential for many biological processes like epithelial monolayer bending, collective cell migration, cell extrusion and wound healing. The acto-myosin cytoskeleton acts as a major force-generator during the

Characterization of Contractile Proteins from Skeletal Muscle Using Gel-Based Top-Down Proteomics
Proteomes, 2019 The mass spectrometric analysis of skeletal muscle proteins has used both peptide-centric and protein-focused approaches. The term ‘top-down proteomics’ is often used in relation to studying purified proteoforms and their post-translational ...

Nuclear filaments: role in chromosomal positioning and gene expression
Nucleus, 2020 Nuclear lamins form an elastic meshwork underlying the inner nuclear membrane and provide mechanical rigidity to the nucleus and maintain shape. Lamins also maintain chromosome positioning and play important roles in several nuclear processes like ...
