myosin

These protein profiles are mainly comprised myosin and actin, and containing other proteins such as troponin, tropomyosin, a-actinin and c-protein which are mainly connected with myosin and actin [23].

Ordinarily, as filaments of the myosin protein absorb energy, they bind to filaments of the protein actin and bend back upon themselves, pulling on the actin filaments and contracting the muscle.

Myosin VIIA, important for human auditory function, is necessary for Drosophila auditory organ development.

Decreased myosin expression, as demonstrated by IHC staining, suggested that altered muscle protein conformation may have occurred, which is consistent with effects of methylmercury on muscle development in zebrafish embryos (Liu et al.).

Circulating cardiac myosin light-chains in patients with angina at rest: identification of a high risk subgroup.

It is known that myosin mainly contributes to the tensile strength of the muscle, while a-actinin and desmin are cytoskeletal proteins responsible for the maintenance of structural and mechanical integrity of actin filaments in the Z-disk [15].

Therefore, the cytoskeleton network displays a nonlinear elastic response [46], since stiffness or softening are regulated by F-actin and myosin II, not just actin.

MYH9 encodes the nonmuscle myosin heavy chain 9, which forms myosin II with other subunits.

MYO15A gene consisting of 66 exons encodes a protein myosin XVA with 3530 amino acid.

A number of myosin classes, including myosin I, myosin III and myosin V (28-31) are known to bind calmodulin at the light-chain-binding motifs.

We chose the myosin motor as a model molecular machine.
