No biological system has been studied by more diverse approaches than the actin-based molecular motor myosin. Biophysics, biochemistry, physiology, classical genetics and molecular genetics have ...
Here we demonstrated that INAD bound directly to the NINAC myosin III, yet the subcellular localization of NINAC was normal in inaD mutants. Nevertheless, the INAD binding site was sufficient to ...
Non-muscle myosin 2 is a motor protein involved in many cellular processes, most notably cell motility and contraction, which allows a cell to crawl and reorganize organelles within itself. To achieve ...
Eggs pop out of ovaries. But what propels them has been unknown. Now, researchers from the University of Connecticut explain in an article published in the September 18 issue of the Proceedings of the ...
The actin motor protein nonmuscle myosin II is enriched at vertical borders between neighboring cells along the A-P axis, which may prevent cells from moving in the wrong direction. Conversely, the ...
