Abstract excerpt
Myosins are crucial motor proteins associated with the actin cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells. Structurally, myosins form heteromeric complexes, with smaller light chains such as calmodulin (CaM) bound to isoleucine-glutamine (IQ) domains in the neck region. These interactions facilitate mechano-enzymatic activity. Recently, we reported that Arabidopsis CaM-like (CML) proteins CML13 and CML14 interact with the IQ...
