Three-dimensional atomic model of F-actin decorated with Dictyostelium myosin S1

Abstract: Elucidation of the molecular contacts between actin and myosin is central to understanding the force-generating process in muscle and other cells. Actin, a highly conserved globular protein found in all eukaryotes, polymerizes into filaments (F-actin) for most of its biological functions. Myosins, which are more diverse in sequence, share a conserved globular head of about 900 amino acids in length (subfragment-1 or S1) at the N-terminal end of the molecule. S1 contains all the elements necessary for mechano-c… Show more

“…On the other hand, cortactin-B and -C showed no effect on the viscosity of F-actin. Consistent with this, the binding of 125 I-labelled F-actin to cortactin-A was inhibited by an excess of myosin subfragment 1 (S1), a well characterized protein which binds along the sides of F-actin (Rayment et al 1993;Schröder et al 1993) (Fig. 2D).…”
