Analysis of organelle targeting by DIL domains of the Arabidopsis myosin XI family [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2011 The Arabidopsis thaliana genome encodes 13 myosin XI motor proteins. Previous insertional mutant analysis has implicated substantial redundancy of function of plant myosin XIs in transport of intracellular organelles.

Arabidopsis myosin XI sub-domains homologous to the yeast myo2p organelle inheritance sub-domain target subcellular structures in plant cells [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 Myosin XI motor proteins transport plant organelles on the actin cytoskeleton. The Arabidopsis gene family that encodes myosin XI has 13 members, 12 of which have sub-domains within the tail region that are homologous to well-characterized cargo-binding ...

Unraveling the fastest myosin: Discovery history and structure-function relationships of algae Chara myosin XI [PDF]
Biophysics and PhysicobiologyPlant myosins have higher velocities than animal myosins. Among them, myosins in freshwater algae of the genus Chara have extremely high velocities. We have biochemically studied myosins that perform high-speed movements in the alga Chara.

ER network dynamics are differentially controlled by myosins XI-K, XI-C, XI-E, XI-I, XI-1 and XI-2 [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of higher plants is a complex network of tubules and cisternae. Some of the tubules and cisternae are relatively persistent, while others are dynamically moving and remodelling through growth and shrinkage, cycles of ...

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.

Autoregulation and dual stepping mode of MYA2, an Arabidopsis myosin XI responsible for cytoplasmic streaming [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Arabidopsis thaliana has 13 genes belonging to the myosin XI family. Myosin XI-2 (MYA2) plays a major role in the generation of cytoplasmic streaming in Arabidopsis cells.

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.
