as actin building blocks are either added to or removed from the ends of filaments. According to the classical model, the generation of cell movement also requires the molecular motor myosin.

This force, known as cortical tension, is generated when ‘motor’ proteins called myosin pull on highly specialized actin protein filaments that have formed a complex with tropomyosin ...

The highly regular arrangement of actin filaments and myosin molecular motors in each sarcomere characterize these structures as “cytoskeletal crystals” that form spontaneously inside muscle fiber ...

Woody et al. (2018) performed Monte-Carlo simulations with 75 myosin heads interacting with an actin filament or a regulated thin filament assuming a two-state cross-bridge model and a simple ...

hMMES1 cells were exposed to RGNNV (MOI = 1) or PBS for 4 h and actin filaments were labeled with iFluorTM 488 phalloidin (green), then fixed, and permeabilized as described above. Nuclei were stained ...

Researchers study how auditory epithelial cells in chicks simultaneously coordinate position and orientation to arrange ...

The findings presented in this manuscript are fundamental, as they uncover MYL3, a member of the myosin family, as a potential entry ... hMMES1 cells were exposed to RGNNV (MOI = 1) or PBS for 4 h and ...

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2418624122 "Surprisingly, we also found that the droplets coat the actin filaments in the cell in a physical process called wetting and protect the actin filaments from ...
