The spreading of myosin [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1935
Whereas most proteins so far studied show spreading at their isoelectric points or on strongly acid solutions (we have examined more or less thoroughly ovalbumin, zein, gliadin, insulin, pepsin, trypsin, ovoglobulin, ovomucoid, caseinogen, globin and haemoglobin) some proteins do not spread, when tested by our usual technique. Gelatin is a bad spreader

Myosin V and iNOS expression is enhanced in J774 murine macrophages treated with IFN-gamma [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001
Actin-based motor protein requirements and nitric oxide (NO) production are important features of macrophage activity during phagocytosis or microbicidal processes.

Non-muscle myosins control the integrity of cortical radial glial endfeet

open access: yesPLoS 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]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Myosin 1g and 1f: A Prospective Analysis in NK Cell Functions

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
NK cells are contained in the ILC1 group; they are recognized for their antiviral and antitumor cytotoxic capacity; NK cells also participate in other immune response processes through cytokines secretion.

Discovery of Viral Myosin Genes With Complex Evolutionary History Within Plankton

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) infect diverse eukaryotes and form a group of viruses with capsids encapsulating large genomes. Recent studies are increasingly revealing a spectacular array of functions encoded in their genomes, including ...

Thirteen is enough: the myosins of Dictyostelium discoideum and their light chains

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2006
Background Dictyostelium discoideum is one of the most famous model organisms for studying motile processes like cell movement, organelle transport, cytokinesis, and endocytosis.

Myosin chaperones

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Structural Biology, 2014
The folding and assembly of myosin motor proteins is essential for most movement processes at the cellular, but also at the organism level. Importantly, myosins, which represent a very diverse family of proteins, require the activity of general and specialized folding factors to develop their full motor function.

Multiplying myosins [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006
Myosins are a diverse family of actin-based molecular motors that appeared early in eukaryotic evolution. Just how early, and how diverse, has begun to become clear from work that appears in this issue of PNAS (1) and recent work from Nature (2). For most of its existence, the term “myosin” applied only to the actin-activated ATPase that forms the ...
