Myosin - the most studied of all proteins (!?)large family of myosin-related proteins ~14 in human
heavy chain:1) large globular head: contains actin-binding and ATPase domains2) α-helical neck region - binds light chains
common features: one or two heavy chains and several light chains
3) tail domain - for oligomerization or cargo binding
light chains:1) calcium-binding proteins, sometimes calmodulin2) regulate myosin activity

Myosin II mechanism
ATPase activity stimulated by actin: from 4/hour to 20/second
ATP binding, hydrolysis and dissociation of ADP-Pi produce a series of allosteric changes in myosin conformation
Energy release is coupled to movement

protrusion
Actin polymerization at leading edge - local force
mechanisms:
1) “thermal rachet” - actin polymerization pushes
2) myosin I - movement of actin filaments

1) thermal rachet - actin polmerization at leading membrane,depolymerization at the rear

2) myosin I - dependent
myosin I could also transport assembly factors to membrane

Proposed mechanisms:

what controls depolymerization in Listeria tails?
Listeria + cytoplasmic egg extract leads to motility in vitro
immunodeplete gelsolin or ADF/cofilin and observe effects
control -gelsolin ADF/Cofilin
NO actin severing NO -end depolymerization

Important Breakthrough:• reconstitution of Listeria motility from
purified components
required:• Actin and ATP• Arp2/3 complex• ADF/cofilin• Capping protein
stimulators:• VASP -binds ActA, actin, profilin• Profilin• α-actinin
• has helped us understand • ‘normal’ cell mechanisms involving actin
