Actin binding domain of Rng2 sparsely bound on F-actin strongly inhibits actin movement on myosin II

Y. Hayakawa, M. Takaine, K. X. Ngo, T. Imai, M. Yamada, A. B. Behjat, K. Umeda, K. Hirose, A. Yurtsever, N. Kodera, K. Tokuraku, O. Numata, T. Fukuma, T. Ando, K. Nakano, T. Uyeda

The paper shows that the Rng2CHD domain inhibits actin filament motility on myosin II at low binding ratios, suggesting it modulates actin-myosin interactions through structural changes.

Activity-dependent glassy cell mechanics : Mechanical properties measured with active microrheology

H. Ebata, K. Umeda, K. Nishizawa, W. Ngao, S. Inokuchi, Y. Sugino, T. Miyamoto, D. Mizuno

This study measures mechanical properties of living cells using active microrheology and finds that cell mechanics are governed by glassy cytoplasm, with ATP depletion leading to solidification and metabolic activity promoting fluid-like behavior.
