Class I Myosins, molecular motors involved in cell migration and cancer
Cell Adhesion & Migration, 2022 Class I Myosins are a subfamily of motor proteins with ATPase activity and a characteristic structure conserved in all myosins: A N-Terminal Motor Domain, a central Neck and a C terminal Tail domain. Humans have eight genes for these myosins.

Non-muscle myosins control the integrity of cortical radial glial endfeet
PLoS Biology, 2023 Radial glial cells, the stem cells of the cerebral cortex, extend a long basal fiber that ends in basal endfeet. A new study in PLOS Biology found that non-muscle myosins control basal endfoot integrity to regulate interneuron organization.

The loop2 insertion of type IX myosin acts as an electrostatic actin tether that permits processive movement. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Although class IX myosins are single-headed, they demonstrate characteristics of processive movement along actin filaments. Double-headed myosins that move processively along actin filaments achieve this by successive binding of the two heads in a hand ...

Characterization and analysis of myosin gene family in the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci)
AIMS Molecular Science, 2022 Myosin is an actin-based motor protein that widely exists in muscle tissue and non-muscle tissue, and myosin of a diverse subfamily has obvious differences in structure and cell function.
