Document Summary

The motor domain determines the identity of the track and the direction of movement, the tail determines the identity of the cargo therefore, the biological function of that motor protein. Tail- tail interactions form large bipolar thick filaments that have hundreds of myosin heads oriented in opposite directions at the two ends of the thick filament. uses the energy of atp hydrolysis to walk towards the plus end of an actin filament. The opposing orientation of the heads in the thick filament makes the filament efficient at sliding pairs of oppositely oriented actin filaments past each other. Myosins move towards the (+) end of an actin filament, but myosin vi moves to the (-) end. There are two types of microtubule motor proteins: kinesins and dyneins. Many of the kinesin superfamily members have specific roles in mitotic and meiotic spindle formation and in chromosome separation during cell division.
