Succinylation of myosin

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1967
Abstract The reaction of succinic anhydride with the free amino groups of myosin introduced a high negative charge density and thus greatly altered the properties of this protein. Succinylated myosin was water-soluble and remained so even after prolonged heating.

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.

Myosins in Cytokinesis

2020
Nearly five decades of research have established myosin as the main motor responsible for cytokinesis in organisms on the branch of the phylogenetic tree that includes amoebas, fungi and animals. This research has grown to be more mechanistic over the past decade, so we now have computer simulations of physically reasonable models that explain how ...

Myosins in the Nucleus

2020
Although originally characterized as a cytoplasmic protein, myosin of various classes also performs key functions in the nucleus. We review the data concerning the nuclear localization, mechanism of entry, and functional interactions of myosin I, II, V, VI, X, XVI, and XVIII.

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.

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.

Assembly of myosin

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1971
Abstract Myosin and its helical subfragments form bipolar “segment” aggregates which may be related to the bare zone of the thick filament. Two distinct modes of aggregation have now been observed: one with an overlap of 1300 A and another with an overlap of about 900 A. Both are consistent with a value of 1450 A for the length of the rod.

Myosin X

2012
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 ...
