Myosins XI-K, XI-1, and XI-2 are required for development of pavement cells, trichomes, and stigmatic papillae in
BMC Plant Biology, 2012 Background The positioning and dynamics of vesicles and organelles, and thus the growth of plant cells, is mediated by the acto-myosin system. In Arabidopsis there are 13 class XI myosins which mediate vesicle and organelle transport in different cell ...

Association of six YFP-myosin XI-tail fusions with mobile plant cell organelles
BMC Plant Biology, 2007 Background Myosins are molecular motors that carry cargo on actin filaments in eukaryotic cells. Seventeen myosin genes have been identified in the nuclear genome of Arabidopsis.

Exploitation of Engineered Light-Switchable Myosin XI for Nanotechnological Applications. [PDF]
ACS Nano, 2023 For certain nanotechnological applications of the contractile proteins actin and myosin, e.g., in biosensing and network-based biocomputation, it would be desirable to temporarily switch on/off motile function in parts of nanostructured devices, e.g., for sorting or programming.

Class XI Myosins Contribute to Auxin Response and Senescence-Induced Cell Death in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 The integrity and dynamics of actin cytoskeleton is necessary not only for plant cell architecture but also for membrane trafficking-mediated processes such as polar auxin transport, senescence, and cell death.

Spatial transcriptomic differences in the breast muscle of grower broilers at 21 and 28 days of age [PDF]
Poultry ScienceThis study investigated transcriptomic differences between the caudal and cranial areas in breast muscle in the grower phase of broiler chickens (D 21 and D 28). A total of 66 one-day-old broiler chickens were allotted to 6 cage pens of 11 birds per pen.

A myosin XI adaptor, TAPE, is essential for pollen tube elongation in rice. [PDF]
Plant Physiol, 2022 Abstract Pollen tube (PT) elongation is important for double fertilization in angiosperms and affects the seed-setting rate and, therefore, crop productivity. Compared to Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana L.), information on PT elongation in rice (Oryza sativa L.) is limited by the difficulty in obtaining homozygous mutants.

Myosin XI-I is Mechanically and Enzymatically Unique Among Class-XI Myosins in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2016 Arabidopsis possesses 13 genes encoding class-XI myosins. Among these, myosin XI-I is phylogenetically distant. To examine the molecular properties of Arabidopsis thaliana myosin XI-I (At myosin XI-I), we performed in vitro mechanical and enzymatic analyses using recombinant constructs of At myosin XI-I.
