Dynein structure and power stroke (2003)
Burgess, S.A., Walker, M.L., Sakakibara, H., Knight, P.J., Oiwa, K.
Dynein ATPases are microtubule motors that are critical to diverse processes such as vesicle transport and the beating of sperm tails; however, their mechanism of force generation is unknown. Each...

To eliminate the gap between the biochemistry of actomyosin in solution and the physiology of contracting muscle, we developed an in vitro force-movement assay system in which the steady-state...

To elucidate the molecular mechanism of muscle contraction resulting from the ATP-dependent actin-myosin interaction, we constructed an assay system with which both the force and the movement...
Control of actin moving trajectory by patterned poly(methylmethacrylate) tracks.
Suzuki, H, Yamada, A, Oiwa, K, Nakayama, H, Mashiko, S
Poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA), a photoresist polymer, was found to be useful for immobilizing heavy meromyosin (HMM) molecules while retaining their abilities to support the movement of actin...

Single-molecule and macroscopic reactions of fluorescent nucleotides with myosin have been compared. The single-molecule studies serve as paradigms for enzyme-catalyzed reactions and ligand-receptor...
Controlling the direction of kinesin-driven microtubule movements along microlithographic tracks.
Hiratsuka, Y, Tada, T, Oiwa, K, Kanayama, T, Uyeda, T Q
Motor proteins are able to move protein filaments in vitro. However, useful work cannot be extracted from the existing in vitro systems because filament motions are in random directions on...
1. The basic properties of the ATP-dependent actin-myosin interaction responsible for muscle contraction were studied using an in vitro force-movement assay system, in which a glass microneedle...
