  2. Movement protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movement_protein

    A movement protein (MP) is a specific virus -encoded protein that is thought to be a general feature of plant genomes. For a virus to infect a plant, it must be able to move between cells so it can spread throughout the plant. Plant cell walls make this moving/spreading quite difficult and therefore, for this to occur, movement proteins must be ...

  3. Motor protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_protein

    Myosins are a superfamily of actin motor proteins that convert chemical energy in the form of ATP to mechanical energy, thus generating force and movement. The first identified myosin, myosin II, is responsible for generating muscle contraction. Myosin II is an elongated protein that is formed from two heavy chains with motor heads and two ...

  4. Protein dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_dynamics

    The study of protein dynamics is most directly concerned with the transitions between these states, but can also involve the nature and equilibrium populations of the states themselves. These two perspectives— kinetics and thermodynamics, respectively—can be conceptually synthesized in an "energy landscape" paradigm: [3] highly populated ...

  5. Myosin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myosin

    Myosin IX is a group of single-headed motor proteins. It was first shown to be minus-end directed, [51] but a later study showed that it is plus-end directed. [52] The movement mechanism for this myosin is poorly understood.

  6. Dynein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynein

    The protein responsible for movement of cilia and flagella was first discovered and named dynein in 1963 (Karp, 2005). 20 years later, cytoplasmic dynein, which had been suspected to exist since the discovery of flagellar dynein, was isolated and identified (Karp, 2005).

  7. Kinesin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinesin

    A kinesin is a protein belonging to a class of motor proteins found in eukaryotic cells. Kinesins move along microtubule (MT) filaments and are powered by the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) (thus kinesins are ATPases, a type of enzyme). The active movement of kinesins supports several cellular functions including mitosis, meiosis ...

  8. Membrane transport protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_transport_protein

    Membrane transport protein. A membrane transport protein is a membrane protein involved in the movement of ions, small molecules, and macromolecules, such as another protein, across a biological membrane. Transport proteins are integral transmembrane proteins; that is they exist permanently within and span the membrane across which they ...

  9. Intracellular transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracellular_transport

    Intracellular transport is the movement of vesicles and substances within a cell. Intracellular transport is required for maintaining homeostasis within the cell by responding to physiological signals. [1] Proteins synthesized in the cytosol are distributed to their respective organelles, according to their specific amino acid’s sorting ...
