The paper identifies tail-binding proteins of Arabidopsis class VIII myosin ATM1 using TurboID and AlphaFold3, finding two novel interacting proteins involved in mRNA turnover and lipid transport.

The paper identifies loop motifs in Myosin1C that determine cellular and organ chirality by swapping these motifs between Myosin1C and Myosin1D and analyzing their effects.

This paper identifies CML13 and CML14 as novel myosin XI light chains in Arabidopsis, showing they bind to myosin XI IQ domains and function in actin motility and root development.

This study investigates chiral actin filament motion induced by myosin XI in vitro, revealing the formation of stable, rotating actin chiral rings through collective motion.

This study identifies Myo1D and Myo1C as drivers of chiral F-actin flows in Drosophila macrophages, contributing to cell chirality.
