Myosin IX is a processive single-headed motor, which might play a role in signalling. This catalytic (head) domain has ATPase activity and belongs to the larger group of P-loop NTPases. Myosins are actin-dependent molecular motors that play important roles in muscle contraction, cell motility, and organelle transport. The head domain is a molecular motor, which utilizes ATP hydrolysis to generate directed movement toward the plus end along actin filaments. A cyclical interaction between myosin and actin provides the driving force. Rates of ATP hydrolysis and consequently the speed of movement along actin filaments vary widely, from about 0.04 micrometer per second for myosin I to 4.5 micrometer per second for myosin II in skeletal muscle. Myosin II moves in discrete steps about 5-10 nm long and generates 1-5 piconewtons of force. Upon ATP binding, the myosin head dissociates from an actin filament. ATP hydrolysis causes the head to pivot and associate with a new actin subunit. The release of Pi causes the head to pivot and move the filament (power stroke). Release of ADP completes the cycle.

The heavy chain can be subdivided into the N-terminal globular head and the C-terminal coiled-coil rod-like tail, although some forms have a globular region in their C-terminal. There are many cell-specific isoforms of myosin heavy chains, coded for by a multi-gene family []. Myosin interacts with actin to convert chemical energy, in the form of ATP, to mechanical energy []. The 3-D structure of the head portion of myosin has been determined [] and a model for actin-myosin complex has been constructed []. The globular head is well conserved, some highly-conserved regions possibly relating to functional and structural domains []. The rod-like tail starts with an invariant proline residue, and contains many repeats of a 28 residue region, interrupted at 4 regularly-spaced points known as skip residues. Although the sequence of the tail is not well conserved, the chemical character is, hydrophobic, charged and skip residues occuring in a highly ordered and repeated fashion [].; GO: 0003774 motor activity, 0005524 ATP binding, 0016459 myosin complex; PDB: 1LKX_A 2V26_A 2BKI_A 3L9I_A 2BKH_A 2X51_A 2VB6_A 2VAS_A 1OE9_A 1W8J_A ....
