Myosin V exhibits a high duty cycle and large unitary displacement
Myosin V is a double-headed unconventional myosin that has been implicated in organelle transport. To perform this role, myosin V may have a high duty cycle. To test this hypothesis and understand the properties of this molecule at the molecular level, we used the laser trap and in vitro motility assay to characterize the mechanics of heavy meromyosin-like fragments of myosin V (M5(HMM)) expres...
متن کاملHigh Duty Cycle to Low Duty Cycle: Echolocation Behaviour of the Hipposiderid Bat Coelops frithii
Laryngeally echolocating bats avoid self-deafening (forward masking) by separating pulse and echo either in time using low duty cycle (LDC) echolocation, or in frequency using high duty cycle (HDC) echolocation. HDC echolocators are specialized to detect fluttering targets in cluttered environments. HDC echolocation is found only in the families Rhinolophidae and Hipposideridae in the Old World...
متن کاملHigh duty cycle and continuous terahertz emission from germanium
In the far-infrared wavelength or terahertz frequency range ~1–10 THz! there are a wide variety of potential applications for compact and tunable lasers. High resolution spectroscopy is relevant to such diverse fields as astronomy, biochemistry, and physical chemistry. Objects of interest include star-forming regions in the universe, heavy ligands in biomolecules which vibrate and rotate with a...
متن کاملHigh duty cycle echolocation and prey detection by bats.
There are two very different approaches to laryngeal echolocation in bats. Although most bats separate pulse and echo in time by signalling at low duty cycles (LDCs), almost 20% of species produce calls at high duty cycles (HDCs) and separate pulse and echo in frequency. HDC echolocators are sensitive to Doppler shifts. HDC echolocation is well suited to detecting fluttering targets such as fly...
متن کاملSimultaneous measurement of nucleotide occupancy and mechanical displacement in myosin-V, a processive molecular motor.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) turnover drives various processive molecular motors and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) release is a principal transition in this cycle. Biochemical and single molecule mechanical studies have led to a model in which a slow ADP release step contributes to the processivity of myosin-V. To test the relationship between force generation and ADP release, we utilized optical...
