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

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

The loop2 insertion of type IX myosin acts as an electrostatic actin tether that permits processive movement. [PDF]
PLoS 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 ...

Discovery of Viral Myosin Genes With Complex Evolutionary History Within Plankton
Frontiers 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 ...

Current 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.

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

Frontiers 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,
