  • Conservation of the regulated structure of folded myosin 2 in species separated by at least 600 million years of independent evolution 

    Jung, Hyun Suk; Burgess, Stan A.; Billington, Neil; Colegrave, Melanie; Patel, Hitesh; Chalovich, Joseph; Chantler, Peter D.; Knight, Peter J. (East Carolina University, 2008-04-22)
    The myosin 2 family of molecular motors includes isoforms regulated in different ways. Vertebrate smooth-muscle myosin is activated by phosphorylation of the regulatory light chain, whereas scallop striated adductor-muscle ...

  • A Long Helix from the Central Region of Smooth Muscle Caldesmon 

    Wang, C.-L. Albert; Chalovich, Joseph; Graceffa, Philip; Lu, Renne C.; Mabuchi, Katsuhide; Stafford, Walter F. (East Carolina University, 1991-07-25)
    The central region of smooth muscle caldesmon is predicted to form α-helices on the basis of its primary structure. We have isolated a fragment (CT54) that contains this region. The hydrodynamic properties and the electron ...
