Localization of myosin 1b to actin protrusions requires phosphoinositide binding.
Myosin 1b (Myo1b), a class I myosin, is a widely expressed, single-headed, actin-associated molecular motor. Transient kinetic and single-molecule studies indicate that it is kinetically slow and responds to tension. Localization and subcellular fractionation studies indicate that Myo1b associates with the plasma membrane and certain subcellular organelles such as endosomes and lysosomes. Wheth...
متن کاملAn Actin-Myosin Machine
The Problem: A long standing goal in engineering is to exploit the unique designs of biological systems to guide the development of autonomous biomimetic machines that exhibit agility, strength and speed in a variety of natural environments. Most critical to this effort is the development of an actuator that behaves like muscle. Although important research has been conducted to advance actuator...
متن کاملAn Overview of the Actin-Myosin Interaction
It is proposed that force generation in muscle contraction occurs through a transition from a weakly bound state to a strongly bound state of myosin on actin during the ATPase reaction cycle. The chapters in this book probe the structural details of these interactions, with particular attention to the specific sites of interaction on each protein, the structural and dynamics properties of the b...
متن کاملThe actin-myosin interface.
In order to understand the mechanism of muscle contraction at the atomic level, it is necessary to understand how myosin binds to actin in a reversible way. We have used a novel molecular dynamics technique constrained by an EM map of the actin-myosin complex at 13-A resolution to obtain an atomic model of the strong-binding (rigor) actin-myosin interface. The constraining force resulting from ...
متن کاملActin-myosin–based contraction is responsible for apoptotic nuclear disintegration
Membrane blebbing during the apoptotic execution phase results from caspase-mediated cleavage and activation of ROCK I. Here, we show that ROCK activity, myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation, MLC ATPase activity, and an intact actin cytoskeleton, but not microtubular cytoskeleton, are required for disruption of nuclear integrity during apoptosis. Inhibition of ROCK or MLC ATPase activity, w...
