Exploiting cryo-EM structures of actomyosin-5a to reveal the physical properties of its lever. Structure, 32:2316-2324.e6, 2024 Cited by PubMed Abstract: Myosin 5a (Myo5a) is a dimeric processive motor protein that transports cellular cargos along filamentous actin (F-actin). Its long lever is responsible for its large power-stroke, step size, and load-bearing ability. Little is known about the levers' structure and physical properties, and how they contribute to walking mechanics. Using cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we resolved the structure of monomeric Myo5a, comprising the motor domain and full-length lever, bound to F-actin. The range of its lever conformations revealed its physical properties, how stiffness varies along its length and predicts a large, 35 nm, working stroke. Thus, the newly released trail head in a dimeric Myo5a would only need to perform a small diffusive search for its new binding site on F-actin, and stress would only be generated across the dimer once phosphate is released from the lead head, revealing new insight into the walking behavior of Myo5a.
