Myosin XVI

2020
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.

Myosin XIX

2020
The birth of widely available genomic databases at the turn of the millennium led to the identification of many previously unknown myosin genes and identification of novel classes of myosin, including MYO19. Further sequence analysis has revealed the unique evolutionary history of class XIX myosins. MYO19 is found in species ranging from vertebrates to

Myosins in yeast

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1997
It has been a banner year for the study of yeast myosins. Thanks to the completion of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome project, it is now known that budding yeast contains a total of five myosins. Furthermore, functions have been newly ascribed to several of them: two have been implicated in endocytosis, and another has been implicated in generating

Assembly of myosin

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1971
Abstract Myosin and its helical subfragments form bipolar “segment” aggregates which may be related to the bare zone of the thick filament. Two distinct modes of aggregation have now been observed: one with an overlap of 1300 A and another with an overlap of about 900 A. Both are consistent with a value of 1450 A for the length of the rod.

Myosins and Hearing

2020
Hearing loss is both genetically and clinically heterogeneous, and pathogenic variants of over a hundred different genes are associated with this common neurosensory disorder. A relatively large number of these "deafness genes" encode myosin super family members.

Myosins in Cytokinesis

2020
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 ...

Myosin and myosin phosphorylation in pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 1984
Myosin was isolated from extracts of a clonal cell line of pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells by ammonium sulfate fractionation and gel filtration. This myosin consisted of heavy chains and two light chains (20 and 17 kDa). The 20 kDa light chain could be phosphorylated by a protein kinase which was also present in the extracts and which eluted after myosin

Myosins and Disease

2020
Myosins constitute a superfamily of actin-based molecular motor proteins that mediates a variety of cellular activities including muscle contraction, cell migration, intracellular transport, the formation of membrane projections, cell adhesion, and cell signaling. The 12 myosin classes that are expressed in humans share sequence similarities especially

Rigidity of myosin and myosin rod by electric birefringence

Biopolymers, 1984
AbstractThe rotational relaxation times of rabbit myosin and myosin rod have been determined by electric birefringence measurement. The relaxation time of myosin measured in 10 mM pyrophosphate buffers in a pH range of 7.6–9.5 was found to have substantial concentration and pH dependences.

Myosins and deafness

Journal of Muscle Research & Cell Motility, 1999
The discovery in the past few years of a huge diversity within the myosin superfamily has been coupled with an understanding of the role of these motor proteins in various cellular functions. Extensive studies have revealed that myosin isoforms are not only involved in muscle contraction but also in crucial functions of many specialized mammalian cells
