Myosin surface loop 4 modulates inhibition of actomyosin 1b ATPase activity by tropomyosin.

Abstract excerpt

Structural studies of the class I myosin, MyoE, led to the predictions that loop 4, a surface loop near the actin-binding region that is longer in class I myosins than in other myosin subclasses, might limit binding of myosins I to actin when actin-binding proteins, like tropomyosin, are present, and might account for the exclusion of myosin I from stress fibers. To test these hypotheses, mutant molecules of the...
