actomyosin

The protein complex composed of actin and myosin is sometimes referred to as "actomyosin."

Myosin cleft movement and its coupling to actomyosin dissociation.

On the other hand, it appears that the majority of these mutations affect the areas involved in linking with other proteins, particularly actomyosin.

The sound produced by a muscle comes from the shortening of actomyosin filaments along the axis of the muscle.

Like in Xenopus, actomyosin contractility plays a major role in constricting the apical side of the cell.

ATP hydrolysis provides energy for actomyosin contraction.

Adding ATP to a mixture of both proteins (called actomyosin) causes a decrease in viscosity.

TRAP binds to receptors on the host and is translocated posteriorly by the actomyosin motor.

Previous studies suggested that both steps are facilitated by the action of actomyosin, which requires ATP hydrolysis [ 45].

In these cells, apical constriction occurs when actomyosin contractility folds the cell membrane to reduce the apical surface area.

ROCKs contribute to neurite retraction by inducing growth cone collapse by activating actomyosin contractility.

ASD1 is required for targeting actin, while ASD2 is capable of eliciting an actomyosin based constriction event.

ROCK regulates also MLC phosphorylation and actomyosin contractility which regulate membrane blebbing.

Active ROCK in these cells seems to stimulate the disruption of E-Cadherin-mediated cell-cell contacts by activating actomyosin contractility.

The procedure for the histochemical demonstration of actomyosin ATPase was employed as described by Goth and Samara [ 24 ] .

In muscle, actin is the major component of thin filaments, which, together with the motor protein myosin (which forms thick filaments), are arranged into actomyosin myofibrils.

Protein kinase C decreases maximal actomyosin MgATPase activity through phosphorylation of troponin I [ 9 ] .

Identification of I and IIa fibers by immunohistochemistry was fully concordant with identification of these fiber types by the myofibrillar actomyosin ATPase histochemical staining procedure.

Histochemistry To determine a character of muscle fibers (type II or type I) exhibiting changes in p27 expression, adjacent cryostat sections were stained for actomyosin adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase).

Budding yeast cytokinesis is driven through two septin dependent, redundant processes: recruitment and contraction of the actomyosin ring and formation of the septum by vesicle fusion with the plasma membrane.

Non random error (confounding) was also considered, including fiber size differences between regions and the number of nuclei visible in myofibrillar actomyosin ATPase slide preparations between regions (see Figure 1C).

'Rigor mortis' sets in a few hours after death as Adenosine triphosphate is used up, causing actin and myosin to combine into rigid actomyosin and lowering the meat's water-holding capacity,Lawrie, 90 .

The presence of chromosomes induces the formation of an actomyosin cortical cap, a myosin II ring structure and a set of spindle fibers, the rotation of which promotes invagination at the edge of the cell membrane and splits the polar body away from the oocyte (1).

The term actoclampin is derived from acto- to indicate the involvement of an actin filament, as in actomyosin, and clamp to indicate a clasping device used for strengthening flexible/moving objects and for securely fastening two or more components, followed by the suffix -in to indicate its protein origin.
