Abstract

Myosins are molecular motors that upon interaction with actin filaments convert energy from ATP hydrolysis into mechanical force. Evidence has emerged for the existence of a large, widely expressed and evolutionarily ancient superfamily of myosin genes. In addition to the well-catheterized conventional, filament-forming, two-headed myosin-II of muscle and nonmuscle cells, at least ten additional classes of myosins have been identified. In vertebrates, at least seven of the eleven classes are expressed, and many myosins can be expressed in a single cell type. This review summarizes known structural and functional features of these novel unconventional myosins.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
