The role of myosin II in stabilizing actin tethers promoting GLUT4 exocytosis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes [PDF]
, 2018 Aberrant insulin signaling results in an impaired ability to clear glucose from the bloodstream, which progresses to type II diabetes mellitus once insulin stimulation no longer results in a significant decrease in blood glucose levels.

Modification of Loop 1 Affects the Nucleotide Binding Properties of Myo1c, the Adaptation Motor in the Inner Ear [PDF]
, 2010 Myo1c is one of eight members of the mammalian myosin I family of actin-associated molecular motors. In stereocilia of the hair cells in the inner ear, Myo1c presumably serves as the adaptation motor, which regulates the opening and closing of ...

Relative affinity constants by electrospray ionization and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry: calmodulin binding to peptide analogs of myosin light chain kinase [PDF]
, 2003 Synthetic RS20 peptide and a set of its point-mutated peptide analogs have been used to analyze the interactions between calmodulin (CaM) and the CaM-binding sequence of smooth-muscle myosin light chain kinase both in the presence and the absence of Ca2+.

Myosin VI Rewrites the Rules for Myosin Motors [PDF]
Cell, 2010 Myosin VI is the only type of myosin motor known to move toward the minus ends of actin filaments. This reversal in the direction of its movement is in part a consequence of the repositioning of its lever arm. In addition, myosin VI has a number of other specialized structural and functional adaptations that optimize performance of its unique cellular ...

Myosin-II localizes to the cell cortex when cells are confined within microfluidic gradient channels. [PDF]
, 2016 (A) Fluorescence intensity of GFP-myosin was higher at the cell cortex (Icort) than in the cytosol (Icyto). (B) The ratio of Icort/Icyto increased when the microfluidic confinement channel height was decreased from 3.8 μm to 1.7 μm.
