Discussion

Broadens myosin classification in cell biology; leaves open any relevance to cardiac cytoskeletal function.

Population

Yeast myosin IIs from Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Intervention

Phylogenetic analysis of the N-terminal head domains and structural analysis of the tail domains

Outcome

Classification of yeast myosin IIs

Yeast myosin IIs may represent a distinct fifth subclass of conventional myosins based on their unique structural and phylogenetic characteristics.

May et al. (1998) studied this question.
