  2. Myosin light-chain kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myosin_light-chain_kinase

    Binding of calcium ion to this domain increases the affinity of MYLK binding to myosin light chain. This myosin binding domain is located at the C-Terminus end of the kinase. On the other side of the kinase at the N-Terminus end, sits the actin-binding domain, which allows MYLK to form interactions with actin filaments, keeping it in place. [4] [5]

  3. MYLK - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MYLK

    This gene, a muscle member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, encodes a myosin light-chain kinase, which is a calcium-/calmodulin-dependent enzyme.This kinase phosphorylates myosin regulatory light chains to facilitate myosin interaction with actin filaments to produce contractile activity.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MYLK4

    Myosin light chain kinase 4 also known as MYLK4 is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the MYLK2 gene. [2] MYLK4 is a member of the myosin light-chain kinase family of serine/threonine-specific protein kinases that phosphorylate the regulatory light chain of myosin II .

  6. Myosin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myosin

    Myosin X is an unconventional myosin motor, which is functional as a dimer. The dimerization of myosin X is thought to be antiparallel. [53] This behavior has not been observed in other myosins. In mammalian cells, the motor is found to localize to filopodia. Myosin X walks towards the barbed ends of filaments.

  7. Motor protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_protein

    Myosin II is an elongated protein that is formed from two heavy chains with motor heads and two light chains. Each myosin head contains actin and ATP binding site. The myosin heads bind and hydrolyze ATP, which provides the energy to walk toward the plus end of an actin filament. Myosin II are also vital in the process of cell division. For ...

  8. MYL9 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MYL9

    Myosin, a structural component of muscle, consists of two heavy chains and four light chains. The protein encoded by this gene is a myosin light chain that may regulate muscle contraction by modulating the ATPase activity of myosin heads. The encoded protein binds calcium and is activated by myosin light chain kinase.

    Myosin regulatory light chain 2, ventricular/cardiac muscle isoform (MLC-2) also known as the regulatory light chain of myosin (RLC) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYL2 gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] This cardiac ventricular RLC isoform is distinct from that expressed in skeletal muscle ( MYLPF ), smooth muscle ( MYL12B ) and cardiac atrial ...
