Myosins in protists
Int Rev Cytol.
2001.
Abstract
This review focuses on selected papers that illustrate an historical perspective and the current knowledge of myosin structure and function in protists. The review contains a general description of myosin structure, a phylogenetic tree of the myosin classes, and descriptions of myosin isoforms identified in protists. Each myosin is discussed within the context of the taxonomic group of the organism in which the myosin has been identified. Domain structure, cellular location, function, and regulation are described for each myosin.
