Unconventional Myosins

Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 1992
Myosins are molecular motors that upon interaction with actin filaments convert energy from ATP hydrolysis into mechanical force. Evidence has emerged for the existence of a large, widely expressed and evolutionarily ancient superfamily of myosin genes.

Myosin XVIII

2020
Class XVIII myosins represent a branch of the myosin family tree characterized by the presence of large N- and C-terminal extensions flanking a generic myosin core. These myosins display the highest sequence similarity to conventional class II muscle myosins and are compatible with but not restricted to myosin-2 contractile structures.

Myosin Structures

2020
Directed movements on actin filaments within the cell are powered by molecular motors of the myosin superfamily. On actin filaments, myosin motors convert the energy from ATP into force and movement. Myosin motors power such diverse cellular functions as cytokinesis, membrane trafficking, organelle movements, and cellular migration.

Axonal myosins

Journal of Neurocytology, 2000
The myosin super family is an extended family of actin-based motor proteins that can be divided into 15-18 structurally distinct classes (Sellers, J. R (2000) Biochemica et Biophysica Acta, 1496, 3-22; Hodge, T. & Cope, M. J. T. V. (2000) Journal of Cell Science, 113, 3353-3354; Berg, J. S., Powell, B. C. & Cheney, R. E.

Myosins

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1993
The number and variety of myosins that have been identified has increased greatly over the past few years, and is still growing. Myosins have been classified into at least six distinct classes. Research during the last year has concentrated on identifying the roles of various myosins.

Unconventional myosins

Essays in Biochemistry, 2000
Myosins constitute a large superfamily of F-actin-based motor proteins found in many organisms from yeast to humans. A phylogenetic comparison of their head sequences has allowed them to be grouped into 15 different classes. Unconventional myosins can be monomeric or dimeric, but are thought not to form filaments, unlike conventional myosin. The double-

Myosin XVI

2020
Myosin XVI (Myo16), a vertebrate-specific motor protein, is a recently discovered member of the myosin superfamily. The detailed functionality regarding myosin XVI requires elucidating or clarification; however, it appears to portray an important role in neural development and in the proper functioning of the nervous system.

Myosin XIX

2020
The birth of widely available genomic databases at the turn of the millennium led to the identification of many previously unknown myosin genes and identification of novel classes of myosin, including MYO19. Further sequence analysis has revealed the unique evolutionary history of class XIX myosins. MYO19 is found in species ranging from vertebrates to

Myosin I

American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 1997
The class I myosins are single-headed, actin-binding, mechanochemical “motor” proteins with heavy chains in the molecular mass range of 110-130 kDa; they do not form filaments. Each myosin I heavy chain is associated with one to six light chains that bind to specific motifs known as IQ domains.
