1. N Engl J Med 2013; 369:1529-1536 DOI: 10.1056 2.F-actin is a multi-functional filamentous protein essential for regulating the mobility and contraction of cells.

The Burnham team, led by Dorit Hanein, Ph.D., was the first to reveal the 3D representation of myosin V "walking" along actin filament, a key protein involved in motility and muscle contraction.

While the role of ABA in drought response is well-established, researchers have now identified a surprising contributor to this process: myosin XI, a motor protein traditionally known for transporting ...

Myosin XI is a plant-specific motor protein that moves along actin filaments and helps in intracellular organelle transport. It also plays a central role in cytoplasmic streaming, a process that ...

Actin (red) interacts with myosin, shown in globular form (pink) and a filament form (black line). The model shown is that of H. E. Huxley, modified to indicate bending (curved arrow) near the ...

Over the last several years the identification and functional characterization of the motor proteins actin and myosin in the nucleus has initiated a change in the view of nuclear processes. It is now ...

Myosin motors work by binding to actin and then bending, which generates force that cells use for various purposes. Myosin filaments in heart, skeletal, and smooth muscle cells are essential for ...

As expected, PP1c was translocated to the cell membrane upon blue light illumination being exposed upon the OptoMYPT expressing cells, and consequently, actin and myosin-mediated contractile force ...

The emergence of asymmetry from an initially symmetrical state is a universal transition in nature. Living organisms show asymmetries at the molecular, cellular, tissular, and organismal level.
