Cryo-EM structure of shutdown human nonmuscle myosin 2A.

Abstract excerpt

Determining the high-resolution structure of the widely expressed nonmuscle myosin 2A (NM2A), in its dephosphorylated shutdown state, is important in understanding its regulation and disease roles. In shutdown molecules, the coiled-coil tail wraps around the myosin heads, preventing them from forming filaments and binding to actin. We have solved the shutdown structure of NM2A to a global resolution of 3.0...
