Processive cytoskeletal motors studied with single-molecule fluorescence techniques.
Processive cytoskeletal motors from the myosin, kinesin, and dynein families walk on actin filaments and microtubules to drive cellular transport and organization in eukaryotic cells. These remarkable molecular machines are able to take hundreds of successive steps at speeds of up to several microns per second, allowing them to effectively move vesicles and organelles throughout the cytoplasm. ...
متن کاملMolecular motors: Single-molecule mechanics
Novel techniques are revealing the movements and forces associated with single interactions of motor proteins, such as myosin and kinesin, and also of processive enzymes, such as RNA polymerase.
متن کاملInvestigation of bacterial nucleotide excision repair using single-molecule techniques
Despite three decades of biochemical and structural analysis of the prokaryotic nucleotide excision repair (NER) system, many intriguing questions remain with regard to how the UvrA, UvrB, and UvrC proteins detect, verify and remove a wide range of DNA lesions. Single-molecule techniques have begun to allow more detailed understanding of the kinetics and action mechanism of this complex process...
متن کاملSingle molecule measurements and molecular motors.
Single molecule imaging and manipulation are powerful tools in describing the operations of molecular machines like molecular motors. The single molecule measurements allow a dynamic behaviour of individual biomolecules to be measured. In this paper, we describe how we have developed single molecule measurements to understand the mechanism of molecular motors. The step movement of molecular mot...
متن کاملMolecular Motors: Single-Molecule Recordings Made Easy
A fusion protein of kinesin and gelsolin binds a short actin filament which can be visualized using a standard fluorescence microscope. This technique has provided new insight into the mechanism of kinesin action, and in principle it can be extended to allow single-molecule assays of any protein.
