Myosin Va bound to phagosomes binds to F-actin and delays microtubule-dependent motility.
We established a light microscopy-based assay that reconstitutes the binding of phagosomes purified from mouse macrophages to preassembled F-actin in vitro. Both endogenous myosin Va from mouse macrophages and exogenous myosin Va from chicken brain stimulated the phagosome-F-actin interaction. Myosin Va association with phagosomes correlated with their ability to bind F-actin in an ATP-regulate...
متن کاملMyosin-Va binds to and mechanochemically couples microtubules to actin filaments.
Myosin-Va was identified as a microtubule binding protein by cosedimentation analysis in the presence of microtubules. Native myosin-Va purified from chick brain, as well as the expressed globular tail domain of this myosin, but not head domain bound to microtubule-associated protein-free microtubules. Binding of myosin-Va to microtubules was saturable and of moderately high affinity (approxima...
متن کاملCardiac leiomodin2 binds to the sides of actin filaments and regulates the ATPase activity of myosin
Leiomodin proteins are vertebrate homologues of tropomodulin, having a role in the assembly and maintenance of muscle thin filaments. Leiomodin2 contains an N-terminal tropomodulin homolog fragment including tropomyosin-, and actin-binding sites, and a C-terminal Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome homology 2 actin-binding domain. The cardiac leiomodin2 isoform associates to the pointed end of actin filam...
متن کاملReactivities of Actin as a Contractile Protein
The molecular basis for the mechanism of contraction in striated muscle, with primary emphasis on the interaction between the thick and thin filaments and the role of the thin (actin) filaments, is the theme presented. Recent information relating to actin-myosin interaction points up the fact that definitive statements cannot be made regarding the molecular interaction(s) that lead to contracti...
متن کاملThe myosin-binding protein C motif binds to F-actin in a phosphorylation-sensitive manner.
Cardiac myosin-binding protein C (cMyBP-C) is a regulatory protein expressed in cardiac sarcomeres that is known to interact with myosin, titin, and actin. cMyBP-C modulates actomyosin interactions in a phosphorylation-dependent way, but it is unclear whether interactions with myosin, titin, or actin are required for these effects. Here we show using cosedimentation binding assays, that the 4 N...
