Myosin II mediates cortical contraction in cell motility, and is the motor in smooth and skeletal muscle. 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.

>PF00612 IQ: IQ calmodulin-binding motif; InterPro: IPR000048 The IQ motif is an extremely basic unit of about 23 amino acids, whose conserved core usually fits the consensus A-x(3)-I-Q-x(2)-F-R-x(4)-K-K
The IQ motif, which can be present in one or more copies, serves as a binding site for different EF-hand proteins including the essential and regulatory myosin light chains, calmodulin (CaM), and CaM-like proteins [, ].Many IQ motifs are protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylation sites [, ]. Resolution of the 3D structure of scallop myosin has shown that the IQ motif forms a basic amphipathic helix []. Some proteins known to contain an IQ motif are listed below: A number of conventional and unconventional myosins. Neuromodulin (GAP-43). This protein is associated with nerve growth. It is a major component of the motile "growth cones" that form the tips of elongating axons. Neurogranin (NG/p17). Acts as a "third messenger" substrate of protein kinase C-mediated molecular cascades during synaptic development and remodeling. Sperm surface protein Sp17. Ras GTPase-activating-like protein IQGAP1. IQGAP1 contains 4 IQ motifs. This entry covers the entire IQ motif.; GO: 0005515 protein binding; PDB: 2DFS_A 2IX7_C 1OE9_A 1W7J_A 1W7I_A 1KQM_A 1KK7_A 1WDC_A 1DFL_A 1B7T_A ....
