Conservation of the regulated structure of folded myosin 2 in species separated by at least 600 million years of independent evolution
Journal Article
Jung, H. S., Burgess, S. A., Billington, N., Colegrave, M., Patel, H., Chalovich, J. M., …Knight, P. J. Conservation of the regulated structure of folded myosin 2 in species separated by at least 600 million years of independent evolution. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0707846105

The myosin 2 family of molecular motors includes isoforms regulated in different ways. Vertebrate smooth-muscle myosin is activated by phosphorylation of the regulatory light chain, whereas scallop striated adductor-muscle myosin is activated by dire...

Relocation of myosin and actin, kinesin and tubulin in the acrosome reaction of bovine spermatozoa
Journal Article
Oikonomopoulou, I., Patel, H., Watson, P. F., & Chantler, P. D. Relocation of myosin and actin, kinesin and tubulin in the acrosome reaction of bovine spermatozoa. https://doi.org/10.1071/RD8166

The mammalian acrosome reaction is a specialised exocytotic event. Although molecular motors are known to be involved in exocytosis in many cell types, their potential involvement in the acrosome reaction has remained unknown. Here, it has been shown...
