Familial Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy • Inherited human disease • Heart dysfunction and sudden death • Autosomal dominant • Myosin heavy chain gene first • Other sarcomere components • Subtle mutations • Mild effects on Biochemical Function
Myosin: Definitions • Biochemical: Actin-activated ATPase • Mechanical: Moves along actin filament • Structural: Conserved motor domain, with binding sites for actin and ATP
Myosin II: Contraction • Bipolar Filaments • Stress Fibers • Contractile Ring of Cytokinesis • Tail Contraction in Cell Migration • Toothpaste Tube Model • Epithelial Cells • Folding a Layer in Development • Apoptosis - Extruding a Cell

Atomic Force Microscopy Tapping Mode
Myosin V in Budding Yeast Tracks of Actin Filaments... • Anchored via Barbed Ends • At Specific Locations on the Plasma Membrane (1) • Filaments Bundled (2)
Myosin V in Budding Yeast Cargos for the Myosin... • Secretory Vesicles for Polarized Growth (3) • Distal Plus Ends of Mts, to Position the Mitotic Spindle (4) • mRNA to Specify Daughter-Cell Property (5) • Inheritance / Segregation of Organelles, e.g. Vacuole/Lysosome (6)
Myosin VI • Moves Backward - Toward Pointed End • Motor domain has insertion sequence in position similar to an insertion in Ncd, the backwards kinesin • Associated w/ Unusual Actin Filament Structures during Spermatogenesis in Drosophila and C. elegans
