What is MYosin 8?

What is MYosin 8?

Myosin-8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYH8 gene. Mutations in MYH8 are associated with Trismus pseudocamptodactyly syndrome.

Is myosin light chain an Atpase?

Myosin light-chain kinase of smooth muscle stimulates myosin ATPase activity without phosphorylating myosin light chain.

How does actin help with mitosis?

In adherent cell types, cells adhere to the substratum during interphase and spread to assume their characteristic shape supported by the actin cytoskeleton. This actin cytoskeleton is reorganized during mitosis to form rounded cells with increased cortical rigidity.

What is myosin Atpase activity?

myosin atpase. (Science: enzyme) An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of myosin aTP in the presence of actin to form myosin aDP and orthophosphate. This reaction is the immediate source of free energy that drives muscle contraction. In the absence of actin, myosin atpase activity is low and requires calcium ions.

What does MYH8 stand for?

Myosin-8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYH8 gene. Mutations in MYH8 are associated with Trismus pseudocamptodactyly syndrome .

How did Holden become GMH?

During the Great Depression, Holden’s Motor Body Builders collapsed, which allowed General Motors to acquire Holden, becoming General Motors-Holden [GMH] in 1931.

When did General Motors start operating in South Africa?

General Motors began operating in South Africa in 1913 through its wholly owned subsidiary, General Motors South Africa and was a market that briefly had its own local brand, Ranger.

What is the history of R&D at General Motors?

Research and development (R&D) at General Motors began organically as the continuation of such R&D as the various divisions (e.g., Cadillac, Buick, Olds, Oakland) were already doing for themselves before the merger. Its character was entirely empirical; it was whatever key people in each company had been competent enough to organize and pursue.
