Mutations in the myosin II SH1 helix influence the thermal properties
Myosin II SH1 helix is a joint that links the converter subdomain to the rest of the myosin motor domain. In this study, we introduced the E683K or R686C point mutation into the SH1 helix in Dictyostelium myosin II, and found that these mutations decreased both the thermal stability of myosin II and the activation energy of a rate-limiting process involved in actin movement, suggesting that the SH1 helix is a key structural element that determines the flexibility and thermal properties of the myosin motor.
