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

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Associations between workload, myosin isoforms and performance on professional male basketball. A 4 seasons follow up

open access: yesApunts Sports Medicine, 2023
The aim of this study was to determine associations between workload, myosin isoforms, and performance in professional basketball, by following the progress of a professional basketball team over four consecutive seasons.

Myosins VIII and XI play distinct roles in reproduction and transport of tobacco mosaic virus.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2014
Viruses are obligatory parasites that depend on host cellular factors for their replication as well as for their local and systemic movement to establish infection.

Acidosis and Phosphate Directly Reduce Myosin’s Force-Generating Capacity Through Distinct Molecular Mechanisms

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
Elevated levels of the metabolic by-products, including acidosis (i.e., high [H+]) and phosphate (Pi) are putative agents of muscle fatigue; however, the mechanism through which they affect myosin’s function remain unclear. To elucidate these mechanisms,

Thick filament‐associated myosin undergoes frequent replacement at the tip of the thick filament

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2022
Myosin plays a fundamental role in muscle contraction. Approximately 300 myosins form a bipolar thick filament, in which myosin is continuously replaced by protein turnover.

Distribution and evolution of stable single α-helices (SAH domains) in myosin motor proteins. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Stable single-alpha helices (SAHs) are versatile structural elements in many prokaryotic and eukaryotic proteins acting as semi-flexible linkers and constant force springs.
