General description

Myosin is a 500 kD protein that interacts with actin in muscle and in non-muscle cells. It is characterized with two identical heavy chains (200 kD each) and four light chains (15-20 kD each). Myosin molecules consist of two major regions; the tail (rod) and head. These molecules aggregate into filaments through the tail region and interact with actin and ATP through the head region.

Specificity

Shows a pattern of staining along stress fibers of cultured human and animal fibroblasts.

Immunogen

whole myosin (heavy and light chains) from bovine uterus.

Application

Anti-Myosin (Skeletal and Smooth) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in indirect immunofluorescence labeling.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Myosin plays a vital role in neurosensory and cortical function, membrane vesicle trafficking and determinant partitioning. Myosins with actin-stimulated ATPase activity is essential for various cellular movements. Myosins I and V mediates vesicle translocation. Myosin II with a long rod like tail domain, assembles into a bipolar thick filament and facilitate muscle contraction.

Plant root hair formation is initiated when specialized elongating root epidermis cells (trichoblasts) assemble distinct domains at the plasma membrane/cell wall cell periphery complexes facing the root surface. These localities show accumulation of expansin and progressively transform into tip-growing root
