    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • a unique N terminal region, N-terminal domain 1 of myomesin interacts with the alpha-helical tail domain of Myosin, while the myomesin domains 4–6 bind to the C-terminus of titin
  • 12 modules of motif I (fibronectin type III) or motif II -immunoglobulin C2) in the arrangement II-II-I-I-I-I-I-II-II-II-II-II
  • C-terminal domain 13 of myomesin dimerises and forms antiparallel strands which cross-link neighboring Myosin filaments and titin in the M-line of the sarcomeres
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Myom1
    homolog to C.elegans t24b8.7a

    text
  • sarcomeres, M bands and Z discs
  • located in the M-band which is found in all types of vertebrates striated muscle
  • basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in muscle contraction, cell shape and cell size control
  • myomesin is an essential sarcomeric component controlling the assembly and maintenance of the A-band structure whereas the M-protein increases the stability of the thick filament lattice in some kind of muscles
  • plays an important structural and functional role in the M-band of striated muscles
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, proliferation/growth
    cell organization/biogenesis
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • constituent of meromyosin (binding the globular head of titin and the central region of light meromyosin), potentially involved in the assembly and/or stabilization of myofibrils protein constituent of sarcomeric M-band
  • myomesin dimers cross-link neighboring Myosin and titin filaments in the M-line of the sarcomeres stabilising the contractile apparatus during striated muscle contraction
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding to myosin
  • binding to titin
  • binding to light meromyosin
  • binding to integrin for transmission of signal leading to the initial steps of cell spreading
