Comparative genomic analysis of the arthropod muscle myosin heavy chain genes allows ancestral gene reconstruction and reveals a new type of 'partially' processed pseudogene (2008)

Odronitz, Florian, Kollmar, Martin

Abstract Background Alternative splicing of mutually exclusive exons is an important mechanism for increasing protein diversity in eukaryotes. The insect Mhc (myosin heavy chain) gene produces all...

Drawing the tree of eukaryotic life based on the analysis of 2,269 manually annotated myosins from 328 species (2007)

Odronitz, Florian, Kollmar, Martin

Abstract Background The evolutionary history of organisms is expressed in phylogenetic trees. The most widely used phylogenetic trees describing the evolution of all organisms have been constructed...

diArk – a resource for eukaryotic genome research (2007)

Odronitz, Florian, Hellkamp, Marcel, Kollmar, Martin

Abstract Background The number of completed eukaryotic genome sequences and cDNA projects has increased exponentially in the past few years although most of them have not been published yet. In...

Pfarao: a web application for protein family analysis customized for cytoskeletal and motor proteins (CyMoBase) (2006)

Odronitz, Florian, Kollmar, Martin

Abstract Background Annotation of protein sequences of eukaryotic organisms is crucial for the understanding of their function in the cell. Manual annotation is still by far the most accurate way to...

Thirteen is enough: the myosins of Dictyostelium discoideumand their light chains (2006)

Kollmar, Martin

Abstract Background Dictyostelium discoideum is one of the most famous model organisms for studying motile processes like cell movement, organelle transport, cytokinesis, and endocytosis. Members of...

Identification and phylogenetic analysis of Dictyostelium discoideumkinesin proteins (2003)

Kollmar, Martin, Glöckner, Gernot

Abstract Background Kinesins constitute a large superfamily of motor proteins in eukaryotic cells. They perform diverse tasks such as vesicle and organelle transport and chromosomal segregation in a...

Crystal structure of the motor domain of a class-I myosin (2002)

Kollmar,Martin, Dürrwang,Ulrike, Kliche,Werner, Manstein,Dietmar J., Kull,F. Jon

The crystal structure of the motor domain of Dictyostelium discoideum myosin-IE, a monomeric unconventional myosin, was determined. The crystallographic asymmetric unit contains four independently...

Structure of a genetically engineered molecular motor (2001)

Kliche,Werner, Fujita-Becker,Setsuko, Kollmar,Martin, Manstein,Dietmar J., Kull,F. Jon

Molecular motors move unidirectionally along polymer tracks, producing movement and force in an ATP-dependent fashion. They achieve this by amplifying small conformational changes in the...
