Abstract
Cytoskeletal filaments assemble into dense parallel, antiparallel, or disordered networks, providing a complex environment for active cargo transport and positioning by molecular motors. The interplay between the network architecture and intrinsic motor properties clearly affects transport properties but remains poorly understood. Here, by using surface micropatterns of actin polymerization, we investigate stochastic transport properties of colloidal beads in antiparallel networks of overlapping actin filaments. We found that 200-nm beads coated with myosin Va motors displayed directed movements toward positions where the net polarity of the actin network vanished, accumulating there. The bead distribution was dictated by the spatial profiles of local bead velocity and diffusion coefficient, indicating that a diffusion-drift process was at work. Remarkably, beads coated with heavy-mero-myosin II motors showed a similar behavior. However, although velocity gradients were steeper with myosin II, the much larger bead diffusion observed with this motor resulted in less precise positioning. Our observations are well described by a 3-state model, in which active beads locally sense the net polarity of the network by frequently detaching from and reattaching to the filaments. A stochastic sequence of processive runs and diffusive searches results in a biased random walk. The precision of bead positioning is set by the gradient of net actin polarity in the network and by the run length of the cargo in an attached state. Our results unveiled physical rules for cargo transport and positioning in networks of mixed polarity.

Abstract
The nucleotide turnover rates of bipolar myosin thick filament along which actin filament slides were measured by the displacement of prebound fluorescent ATP analog 2'(3')-O-[N-[2-[(Cy3)]amindo]ethyl] carbamoyl]-adenosine 5' triphosphate (Cy3-EDA-ATP) upon flash photolysis of caged ATP. The fluorescence of the thick filament where actin filament slides decayed with two exponential processes. The slower rate constant was the same as that without actin filament. Along bipolar myosin thick filament, actin filaments slide at a fast speed towards the central bare zone (forward), but more slowly away from the bare zone (backward). The displacement rate constant of fluorescent ATP from the myosin filament where actin filament moved forward was 5.0 s(-1), whereas the rate constant where the actin filament slid backward was 1.7 s(-1). These findings suggest that the slow ADP release rate is responsible for the slow backward sliding movement.

Abstract
Nonmuscle myosin IIB (NMIIB) is a cytoplasmic myosin, which plays an important role in cell motility by maintaining cortical tension. It forms bipolar thick filaments with ~14 myosin molecule dimers on each side of the bare zone. Our previous studies showed that the NMIIB is a moderately high duty ratio (~20-25%) motor. The ADP release step (~0.35 s(-1)) of NMIIB is only ~3 times faster than the rate-limiting phosphate release (0.13 ± 0.01 s(-1)). The aim of this study was to relate the known in vitro kinetic parameters to the results of single molecule experiments and to compare the kinetic and mechanical properties of single- and double-headed myosin fragments and nonmuscle IIB thick filaments. Examination of the kinetics of NMIIB interaction with actin at the single molecule level was accomplished using total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) with fluorescence imaging with 1-nm accuracy (FIONA) and dual-beam optical trapping. At a physiological ATP concentration (1 mm), the rate of detachment of the single-headed and double-headed molecules was similar (~0.4 s(-1)). Using optical tweezers we found that the power stroke sizes of single- and double-headed heavy meromyosin (HMM) were each ~6 nm. No signs of processive stepping at the single molecule level were observed in the case of NMIIB-HMM in optical tweezers or TIRF/in vitro motility experiments. In contrast, robust motility of individual fluorescently labeled thick filaments of full-length NMIIB was observed on actin filaments. Our results are in good agreement with the previous steady-state and transient kinetic studies and show that the individual nonprocessive nonmuscle myosin IIB molecules form a highly processive unit when polymerized into filaments.

Abstract
This is the second in a series of canonical reviews on invertebrate muscle. We cover here thin and thick filament structure, the molecular basis of force generation and its regulation, and two special properties of some invertebrate muscle, catch and asynchronous muscle. Invertebrate thin filaments resemble vertebrate thin filaments, although helix structure and tropomyosin arrangement show small differences. Invertebrate thick filaments, alternatively, are very different from vertebrate striated thick filaments and show great variation within invertebrates. Part of this diversity stems from variation in paramyosin content, which is greatly increased in very large diameter invertebrate thick filaments. Other of it arises from relatively small changes in filament backbone structure, which results in filaments with grossly similar myosin head placements (rotating crowns of heads every 14.5 nm) but large changes in detail (distances between heads in azimuthal registration varying from three to thousands of crowns). The lever arm basis of force generation is common to both vertebrates and invertebrates, and in some invertebrates this process is understood on the near atomic level. Invertebrate actomyosin is both thin (tropomyosin:troponin) and thick (primarily via direct Ca(++) binding to myosin) filament regulated, and most invertebrate muscles are dually regulated. These mechanisms are well understood on the molecular level, but the behavioral utility of dual regulation is less so. The phosphorylation state of the thick filament associated giant protein, twitchin, has been recently shown to be the molecular basis of catch. The molecular basis of the stretch activation underlying asynchronous muscle activity, however, remains unresolved.

Abstract
Myosin V is a calmodulin-binding motor protein. The dissociation of single calmodulin molecules from individual myosin V molecules at 1 microM Ca(2+) correlates with a reduction in sliding velocity in an in vitro motility assay. The dissociation of two calmodulin molecules at 5 microM Ca(2+) correlates with a detachment of actin filaments from myosin V. To mimic the regulation of myosin V motility by Ca(2+) in a cell, caged Ca(2+) coupled with a UV flash system was used to produce Ca(2+) transients. During the Ca(2+) transient, myosin V goes through the functional cycle of reduced sliding velocity, actin detachment and reattachment followed by the recovery of the sliding velocity. These results indicate that myosin V motility is regulated by Ca(2+) through a reduction in actin-binding affinity resulting from the dissociation of single calmodulin molecules.

Abstract
Each of the heads of the motor protein myosin II is capable of supporting motion. A previous report showed that double-headed myosin generates twice the displacement of single-headed myosin (Tyska, M.J., D.E. Dupuis, W.H. Guilford, J.B. Patlak, G.S. Waller, K.M. Trybus, D.M. Warshaw, and S. Lowey. 1999. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 96:4402-4407). To determine the role of the second head, we expressed a smooth muscle heterodimeric heavy meromyosin (HMM) with one wild-type head, and the other locked in a weak actin-binding state by introducing a point mutation in switch II (E470A). Homodimeric E470A HMM did not support in vitro motility, and only slowly hydrolyzed MgATP. Optical trap measurements revealed that the heterodimer generated unitary displacements of 10.4 nm, strikingly similar to wild-type HMM (10.2 nm) and approximately twice that of single-headed subfragment-1 (4.4 nm). These data show that a double-headed molecule can achieve a working stroke of approximately 10 nm with only one active head and an inactive weak-binding partner. We propose that the second head optimizes the orientation and/or stabilizes the structure of the motion-generating head, thereby resulting in maximum displacement.

Abstract
1. This paper has been written in recognition of the seminal contributions to cardiac and skeletal muscle energetics made by Professor Colin Gibbs during his distinguished academic career. 2. The paper focuses on what is now known about the relationship between Ca2+-activated isometric force production and myofibrillar MgATPase in intact and skinned (surface membrane rendered permeable) skeletal and cardiac muscle preparations at short sarcomere lengths. 3. The relevance of this relationship to understanding the interactions between the actin and myosin filaments at the cross-bridge level in the region of double actin filament overlap and the cellular basis of 'activation heat' measurements in intact striated muscles is discussed.

Abstract
Displacements of single one-headed myosin molecules in a sparse myosin-rod cofilament were measured from bead displacements at various angles relative to an actin filament by dual optical trapping nanometry. The sparse myosin-rod cofilaments, 5-8 micron long, were synthesized by slowly mixing one-headed myosin prepared by papain digestion with myosin rods at molar ratios of 1:400 to 1:1500, so that one to four one-headed myosin molecules were on average scattered along the cofilament. The bead displacement was approximately 10 nm at low loads ( approximately 0.5 pN) and at angles of 5-10 degrees between the actin and myosin filaments (near physiologically correct orientation). The bead displacement decreased with an increase in the angle. The bead displacement at nearly 90 degrees was approximately 0 nm. When the angle was increased to approximately 150 degrees-170 degrees, the bead displacements increased to 5 nm. A native two-headed myosin showed similar size and orientation dependence of bead displacements as a one-headed myosin.
