Type-I myosins promote actin polymerization to drive membrane bending in endocytosis

eLife, 2019
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.

Changes in Myosin from Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) under Microwave-Assisted Water Bath Heating on a Multiscale

Foods, 2022
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 ...

Mechanosensing in myosin filament solves a 60 years old conflict in skeletal muscle modeling between high power output and slow rise in tension [PDF]

, 2016
Almost 60 years ago Andrew Huxley with his seminal paper \cite{Huxley1957} laid the foundation of modern muscle modeling, linking chemical events to mechanical performance.

Mammalian Myosin-18A, a Highly Divergent Myosin [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013
The Mus musculus myosin-18A gene is expressed as two alternatively spliced isoforms, α and β, with reported roles in Golgi localization, in maintenance of cytoskeleton, and as receptors for immunological surfactant proteins. Both myosin-18A isoforms feature a myosin motor domain, a single predicted IQ motif, and a long coiled-coil reminiscent of myosin-

Movement Asymmetries: From Their Molecular Origin to the Analysis of Movement Asymmetries in Athletes

Life, 2023
Asymmetry plays a major role in biology at all scales. This can be seen in the helix of DNA, the fact that the human heart is on the left side, or that most people use their right hand.

Model for processive movement of myosin V and myosin VI

, 2003
Myosin V and myosin VI are two classes of two-headed molecular motors of the myosin superfamily that move processively along helical actin filaments in opposite directions. Here we present a hand-over-hand model for their processive movements.

F-actin and myosin F control apicoplast elongation dynamics which drive apicoplast-centrosome association in Toxoplasma gondii

mBio, 2023
Toxoplasma gondii contains an essential plastid organelle called the apicoplast that is necessary for fatty acid, isoprenoid, and heme synthesis. Perturbations affecting apicoplast function or inheritance lead to parasite death.

Quantum dot-based thermometry uncovers decreased myosin efficiency in an experimental intensive care unit model

Frontiers in Physiology
Critical illness myopathy (CIM) detrimentally affects muscle function in ICU patients, with a dramatic loss of muscle mass and function where the loss in specific force exceeds the loss in muscle mass (maximum force normalized to muscle cross-sectional ...

Estudo de mutações causadoras de cardiomiopatia hipertrófica em um grupo de pacientes no Espírito Santo, Brasil Estudio de mutaciones causadoras de cardiomiopatía hipertrófica en un grupo de pacientes en Espírito Santo, Brasil Study of mutations causing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in a group of patients from Espirito Santo, Brazil

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2010
FUNDAMENTO: A cardiomiopatia hipertrófica (CH) é a doença cardíaca hereditária mais frequente, causada por mutações nos genes codificadores para proteínas do sarcômero. Embora mais de 430 mutações tenham sido identificadas em vários continentes e países,

HLH-1 Modulates Muscle Proteostasis During Caenorhabditis elegans Larval Development

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Muscle proteostasis is shaped by the myogenic transcription factor MyoD which regulates the expression of chaperones during muscle differentiation. Whether MyoD can also modulate chaperone expression in terminally differentiated muscle cells remains open.
