Abstract excerpt
Myosin interacts with actin during its enzymatic cycle, and actin stimulates myosin's ATPase activity. There are extensive interaction surfaces on both actin and myosin. Several surface loops of myosin play different roles in actomyosin interaction. However, the functional role of loop 4 in actin binding is still ambiguous. We explored the role of loop 4 by either mutating its conserved acidic group, Glu-365, to...
