Structure, function, and regulation of myosin 1C.
Myosin 1C, the first mammalian single-headed myosin to be purified, cloned, and sequenced, has been implicated in the translocation of plasma membrane channels and transporters. Like other forms of myosin I (of which eight exist in humans) myosin 1C consists of motor, neck, and tail domains. The neck domain binds calmodulins more tightly in the absence than in the presence of Ca(2+). Release of...
متن کاملStructural basis of the relaxed state of a Ca2+-regulated myosin filament and its evolutionary implications.
Myosin filaments of muscle are regulated either by phosphorylation of their regulatory light chains or Ca(2+) binding to the essential light chains, contributing to on-off switching or modulation of contraction. Phosphorylation-regulated filaments in the relaxed state are characterized by an asymmetric interaction between the two myosin heads, inhibiting their actin binding or ATPase activity. ...
متن کاملInhibitory regulation of higher-plant myosin by Ca2+ ions
Myosin isolated from the pollen tubes of lily (Lilium longiflorum) is composed of a 170-kD heavy chain (E. Yokota and T. Shimmen [1994] Protoplasma 177: 153-162). Both the motile activity in vitro and the F-actin-stimulated ATPase activity of this myosin were inhibited by Ca2+ at concentrations higher than 10(-6) M. In the Ca2+ range between 10(-6) and 10(-5) M, inhibition of the motile activit...
متن کاملThe structural basis of the myosin ATPase activity.
Myosin is an ATPase that converts chemical energy into directed movement and can be viewed as a molecular motor. This protein comes in many shapes and sizes. Over 11 classes of myosin have been identified, and it is anticipated that more will be found as the search continues (2). Indeed it has been recognized in one form or another in every eukaryotic cell examined. The common feature of all of...
متن کاملThe Structural Basis for the Large Powerstroke of Myosin VI
Due to a unique addition to the lever arm-positioning region (converter), class VI myosins move in the opposite direction (toward the minus-end of actin filaments) compared to other characterized myosin classes. However, the large size of the myosin VI lever arm swing (powerstroke) cannot be explained by our current view of the structural transitions that occur within the myosin motor. We have ...
