Proteomic analysis of muscle tissue from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fed dietary β-glucan

The aim of this study was to examine the changes in muscle proteome of the rainbow trout fed dietary β-glucan. The experimental diets contained 0 (control), 0.1% and 0.2% β-1,3/1,6 yeast glucan. First, feeding larvae were fed to apparent satiation nine times per day with their respective diets over two months. The percentage of body weight gain and feed efficiency of fish fed 0.2% diet was sign...

Five models for myosin V.

Myosin V was the first discovered processive motor from the myosin family. It has therefore been subject of a number of mechanical, kinetic, optical and structural studies and now belongs to the best characterised motor proteins. This effort has been accompanied by a number of different theoretical models. In this article we give an overview of them and discuss what they have in common and wher...

Expression, splicing, and evolution of the myosin gene family in plants.

Plants possess two myosin classes, VIII and XI. The myosins XI are implicated in organelle transport, filamentous actin organization, and cell and plant growth. Due to the large size of myosin gene families, knowledge of these molecular motors remains patchy. Using deep transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics, we systematically investigated myosin genes in two model plants, Arabidopsis (Ara...

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...

Myosinome: A Database of Myosins from Select Eukaryotic Genomes to Facilitate Analysis of Sequence-Structure-Function Relationships

Myosins are one of the largest protein superfamilies with 24 classes. They have conserved structural features and catalytic domains yet show huge variation at different domains resulting in a variety of functions. Myosins are molecules driving various kinds of cellular processes and motility until the level of organisms. These are ATPases that utilize the chemical energy released by ATP hydroly...

Redistribution of myosin VI from top to base of proximal tubule microvilli during acute hypertension.

During acute hypertension, Na(+)/H(+) exchangers (NHE3) retract from top to base of proximal tubule microvilli (MV) and Na(+) reabsorption decreases in proximal tubule. This study aimed to determine whether the actin-based motor myosin VI coordinately retracts with NHE3 in response to acute hypertension. BP was raised approximately 50 mmHg in rats for 20 to 30 min or sham treated, and kidneys w...
