Myosin This video describes the structure and function of myosin. This video is from: Essential Cell Biology, 3rd Edition Alberts, Bray, Hopkin, Johnson, Lewis, Raff, Roberts, & Walter ISBN: 978-0-8153-4129-1

myosin 5min Taken in Woods Hole 2009. MDCK cell transfected with mApple Myosin II. The substrate is imprinted with collagen IV stripes.

"Walking" myosin molecule Myosin molecules move about actin filaments and cause cells to move using a "power stroke" (aka the "lever-arm swing") motion reminiscent of a caterpillar walking along a twig. The additive effect of countless myosin molecules pulling on actin filaments ultimately causes our muscles to contract. The physics of this interaction has previously been limited to speculation based on protein signatures, hypothetical models, and static images of the proteins. This amazing video marks the very first moving image of these microscopic cellular events. See more at Motherboard.tv

Shigella and myosin-X Time lapse video of GFP-Myo10 transfected PtK2 cells 2.5 hours after initiation of infection with Shigella flexneri. Note in the upper right, a bacterium is at the tip of a long thin projection. Note that clusters of fluorescent Myo-10 are cycling along the sides of the bacterium as the projection progressively lengthens. A second projection is forming over the lower center of the cell. A cluster of GFP-Myo10 can be scene cycling along the right side of the bacterium within this dorsal projection.

Calcium, Myosin, Muscle Contraction

Myosin and Actin

Skeletal Muscle Demo Demonstration of some of the biochemical mechanisms involved in skeletal muscle contraction. Calcium ions bind to troponin causing a change in shape of tropomyosin. This exposes myosin binding protein on actin. If a nearby myosin head is already ***ed, binding to the myosin binding molecule triggers contraction of the myosin head, pulling the actin molecule. ATP binding to the contracted myosin head causes it to release from the myosin binding molecule and re***. If another myosin binding protein is nearby, the cycle repeats. If there is no ATP available to trigger the release of the myosin head, the muscle remains in a contracted state, as in rigor mortis.

Muscle Contraction - Actin and Myosin This video shows that muscle contraction is dependent on ATP (the energy carrier in cells). The preparation of muscle is made from rabbit muscle. Most of the cellular content is removed and all that is left is the contractile machinery -- actin and myosin. The glycerinated muscle preparation...

Myosin V molecular motor In living systems, molecules called molecular motors convert chemical energy into mechanical motion, and are essential for many life processes including intracellular transport, cell division, and muscle contraction. Myosin V is a type of molecular motor that transports cargo through cells by "walking" along filaments. In contrast to human-made motors, molecular motors operate in an environment where fluctuations due to Brownian motion are significant. Ongoing experimental and theoretical research is aimed at understanding the mechanism by which molecular motors achieve coordinated, directed motion in a thermal environment.

Lonely Hearts - Myosin

biosights: September 7, 2009 A myosin motor drives contractile vacuole dynamics The contractile vacuole is an osmoregulatory organelle in protozoans that expels excess water from the cytosol through a complex sequence of membrane movements. A new study identifies a myosin motor protein that orchestrates these movements in Dictyostelia. This biosights episode presents the paper by Jung et al. from the August 24th, 2009 issue of the Journal of Cell Biology, and includes an interview with senior author John Hammer III. Produced by Eun Choi and Ben Short.
