Regulation of myosin 5a and myosin 7a
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2011The myosin superfamily is diverse in its structure, kinetic mechanisms and cellular function. The enzymatic activities of most myosins are regulated by some means such as Ca2+ ion binding, phosphorylation or binding of other proteins. In the present review, we discuss the structural basis for the regulation of mammalian myosin 5a and Drosophila myosin ...

Myosin X (Myo10), an actin-based molecular motor, induces filopodia formation and controls cell migration in vitro. In the 25 years since Myo10 was first identified, it has been implicated in several different functions in different cell types including phagocytosis in macrophages, axon outgrowth in neurons, cell-cell adhesion in epithelial and ...

The traditional view of myosin, drawn from studies of myosins from striated muscles, is that of an elongated two-headed molecule that assembles into filaments. However, biochemical, molecular genetic and genetic studies have uncovered a host of ubiquitous single-headed nonfilamentous myosins known collectively as myosins I. All of the myosins I possess

Myosin II, the myosin which has provided the most biochemical and structural data, is dimeric consisting of a long coiled-coil region with the motor domain flexibly attached to the N-terminal end of the coiled-coil. The motor domain (subfragment 1, S1, or cross-bridge) is obtained by proteolytic cleavage of myosin.

Abstract Myosins are a diverse superfamily of molecular motor proteins, which share the ability to reversibly bind actin and hydrolyse MgATP. They are capable of either translocating actin filaments or translocating vesicles or other cargo on fixed actin filaments. There are currently 15 distinct classes in the myosins superfamily, based
