Molecular motors have key roles in virtually ... Figure 2: Schematic of myosin VI structure and some of its cellular functions. Figure 3: Schematic of the myosin VI lever arm and tail domains.

Biophysics, biochemistry, physiology, classical genetics and molecular genetics have all made their contributions, and myosin is now ... Although a crystal structure of filamentous actin (F ...

Numerous motor and structural proteins compose a highly ordered structure known as the sarcomere, the basic unit of muscle contraction in heart and skeletal muscles. Sarcomeric myosin heavy chain ...

Their findings challenge the classical dogma that the molecular motor myosin is essential for the movement of mammalian cells. This insight paves the way for new strategies to control cell ...
