Dictyostelium myosin-5b acts as a conditional processive motor whose processivity can be switched by physiological changes in free Mg(2+) concentration.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Physiological Mg2+ shifts may regulate myosin-5b processivity; hypothesis-generating for motor dynamics in mammalian cardiac muscle.
Taft et al. (2008) studied this question.
