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 ...

Single molecule mechanics resolves the earliest events in force generation by cardiac myosin
Key steps of cardiac mechanochemistry, including the force-generating working stroke and the release of phosphate (Pi), occur rapidly after myosin-actin attachment.

To further prove the advantages of microwave-assisted water bath heating (MWH) in low-value fish processing, the effects of different heating methods (two heating stage method, high temperature section respectively using MWH1, MWH2, MWH3, WH—water ...

Type-I myosins promote actin polymerization to drive membrane bending in endocytosis
Clathrin-mediated endocytosis in budding yeast requires the formation of a dynamic actin network that produces the force to invaginate the plasma membrane against the intracellular turgor pressure.

Drosophila non-muscle myosin II motor activity determines the rate of tissue folding
Non-muscle cell contractility is critical for tissues to adopt shape changes. Although, the non-muscle myosin II holoenzyme (myosin) is a molecular motor that powers contraction of actin cytoskeleton networks, recent studies have questioned the ...

Internal Motility in Stiffening Actin-Myosin Networks [PDF]
We present a study on filamentous actin solutions containing heavy meromyosin subfragments of myosin II motor molecules. We focus on the viscoelastic phase behavior and internal dynamics of such networks during ATP depletion. Upon simultaneously using micro-rheology and fluorescence microscopy as complementary experimental tools, we find a sol-gel ...

Amino acids containing L-Arginine (Arg), L-Lysine (Lys) and L-Histidine (His) are recognized to increase the solubility of myosin at low ionic strength, but there is a difference in the researchers’ views on their effects on the secondary structure of ...

Plant cells divide using the phragmoplast, a microtubule-based structure that directs vesicles secretion to the nascent cell plate. The phragmoplast forms at the cell center and expands to reach a specified site at the cell periphery, tens or hundreds of

Fluctuation analysis of mechanochemical coupling depending on the type of bio-molecular motor [PDF]
Mechanochemical coupling was studied for two different types of myosin motors in cells: myosin V, which carries cargo over long distances by as a single molecule; and myosin II, which generates a contracting force in cooperation with other myosin II molecules.

Five models for myosin V [PDF]
Myosin V was the first discovered processive motor from the myosin family. It has therefore been subject of a number of mechanical, kinetic, optical and structural studies and now belongs to the best characterised motor proteins. This effort has been accompanied by a number of different theoretical models.
