This paper presents the important finding that BNIP3/NIX, a mitophagy receptor, and its binding to ATG18 are required for mitophagy during muscle cell reorganization in Drosophila. Although the ...

All myosins contain a motor domain, which in most cases is an ATPase, and can hydrolyze an ATP to create conformational ... Functions of myosin-18s in non-muscle cells. Myosin-18A binds to actin ...

Despite extensive scrutiny of the myosin superfamily ... for cells to move and for muscles to contract. Myosins use the energy stored in a chemical called ATP to move along filaments made from another ...
