The azimuthal path of myosin V and its dependence on lever-arm length

Myosin V (myoV) is a two-headed myosin capable of taking many successive steps along actin per diffusional encounter, enabling it to transport vesicular and ribonucleoprotein cargos in the dense and complex environment within cells. To better understand how myoV navigates along actin, we used polarized total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy to examine angular changes of bifunctional ...

Elastic lever-arm model for myosin V.

We present a mechanochemical model for myosin V, a two-headed processive motor protein. We derive the properties of a dimer from those of an individual head, which we model both with a four-state cycle (detached; attached with ADP.Pi; attached with ADP; and attached without nucleotide) and alternatively with a five-state cycle (where the powerstroke is not tightly coupled to the phosphate relea...

Secretory vesicle transport velocity in living cells depends on the myosin-V lever arm length

Myosins are molecular motors that exert force against actin filaments. One widely conserved myosin class, the myosin-Vs, recruits organelles to polarized sites in animal and fungal cells. However, it has been unclear whether myosin-Vs actively transport organelles, and whether the recently challenged lever arm model developed for muscle myosin applies to myosin-Vs. Here we demonstrate in living...

Essential "ankle" in the myosin lever arm.

C ellular motors are fascinating machines that function by undergoing successive conformational changes that require joints in their structure. Where these are located is particularly critical for molecular motors that produce force with relatively rigid lever arms, such as myosins (1). A long-standing paradox in myosin function may finally be understood from structural insights provided by Coh...

Direct measurements of the coordination of lever arm swing and the catalytic cycle in myosin V.

Myosins use a conserved structural mechanism to convert the energy from ATP hydrolysis into a large swing of the force-generating lever arm. The precise timing of the lever arm movement with respect to the steps in the actomyosin ATPase cycle has not been determined. We have developed a FRET system in myosin V that uses three donor-acceptor pairs to examine the kinetics of lever arm swing durin...
