Definite differences between in vitro actin-myosin sliding and muscle contraction as revealed using antibodies to myosin head. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Muscle contraction results from attachment-detachment cycles between myosin heads extending from myosin filaments and actin filaments. It is generally believed that a myosin head first attaches to actin, undergoes conformational changes to produce force ...

Divergence of cytokinesis and dimorphism control by myosin II regulatory light chain in fission yeasts

iScience, 2023
Summary: Non-muscle myosin II activation by regulatory light chain (Rlc1Sp) phosphorylation at Ser35 is crucial for cytokinesis during respiration in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

The actin-myosin regulatory MRCK kinases: regulation, biological functions and associations with human cancer [PDF]

, 2014
The contractile actin-myosin cytoskeleton provides much of the force required for numerous cellular activities such as motility, adhesion, cytokinesis and changes in morphology.

Human skeletal myopathy myosin mutations disrupt myosin head sequestration

JCI Insight, 2023
Myosin heavy chains encoded by MYH7 and MYH2 are abundant in human skeletal muscle and important for muscle contraction. However, it is unclear how mutations in these genes disrupt myosin structure and function leading to skeletal muscle myopathies ...

Dynamics of myosin heavy chain isoform transition in the longissimus muscle of domestic and wild pigs during growth: a comparative study

Animal, 2017
Dynamics of myofiber differentiation/maturation in porcine skeletal muscle is associated with domestication, breeding and rearing conditions. This study was aimed to comparatively elucidate the age-dependent myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoform expression ...

Increasing myosin light chain 3f (MLC3f) protects against a decline in contractile velocity [PDF]

, 2019
Disuse induces adaptations in skeletal muscle, which lead to muscle deterioration. Hindlimb-unloading (HU) is a well-established model to investigate cellular mechanisms responsible for disuse-induced skeletal muscle dysfunction.

Age- and activity-related differences in the abundance of Myosin essential and regulatory light chains in human muscle [PDF]

, 2016
Traditional methods for phenotyping skeletal muscle (e.g., immunohistochemistry) are labor-intensive and ill-suited to multixplex analysis, i.e., assays must be performed in a series. Addressing these concerns represents a largely unmet research need but
