Genetics.Genetics.2016 Dec 30. pii: genetics.116.193029. doi: 10.1534/genetics.116.193029. [Epub ahead of print]
We study the mechanisms that guide the formation and maintenance of the highly-ordered actin-myosin cytoskeleton in striated muscle. The UNC-82 kinase of Caenorhabditis elegans is orthologous to mammalian kinases ARK5/NUAK1 and SNARK/NUAK2. UNC-82 localizes to the M-line and is required for proper o

Genetic impairment of parasite myosin motors uncovers the contribution of host cell membrane dynamics to Toxoplasma invasion forces.

BMC biology.BMC Biol.2016 Nov 9;14(1):97.
BACKGROUND: The several-micrometer-sized Toxoplasma gondii protozoan parasite invades virtually any type of nucleated cell from a warm-blooded animal within seconds. Toxoplasma initiates the formation of a tight ring-like junction bridging its apical pole with the host cell membrane. The parasite th

Myosin light chain kinase steady-state kinetics: comparison of smooth muscle myosin II and nonmuscle myosin IIB as substrates.

Myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) phosphorylates S19 of the myosin regulatory light chain (RLC), which is required to activate myosin's ATPase activity and contraction. Smooth muscles are known to display plasticity in response to factors such as inflammation, developmental stage, or stress, which le

… Moreover, myosin heavy chain and actin were hydrolyzed with addition of the enzyme in neutral pH, suggesting that the cathepsin B-like enzyme purified from the spleen of chub mackerel is one of the proteases responsible for post-mortem fish muscle tenderization. …

Regulation of organ straightening and plant posture by an actin–myosin XI cytoskeleton

… Here, we show that the straightening of inflorescence stems is regulated by an actin–myosin XI cytoskeleton in specialized immature fibre cells that are parallel to the stem and encircle it in a thin band. … Arabidopsis mutants defective in myosin XI (specifically XIf and XIk) or ACTIN8 exhibit hyperbending of stems in response to gravity, an effect independent of the physical properties of the shoots. …
