The cellular and molecular mechanisms that lend AJs this versatility are not well understood, but the actin motor, myosin II, has previously been implicated in AJ assembly and function 1. Now, on page ...

Over the last several years the identification and functional characterization of the motor proteins actin and myosin in the nucleus has initiated a change in the view of nuclear processes. It is now ...

During each heartbeat, cardiac contractility results from calcium-activated sliding of actin thin filaments toward the centers of myosin thick filaments to shorten cellular length. Cardiac ...

• The fundamental process of polarised exocytosis requires the interconnected activity of molecular motors trafficking vesicular cargo within a dynamic cytoskeletal network. In plants, few mechanistic ...
