Moonwalking molecular machines: Unraveling the choreography of myosin filament assembly

J Cell Biol. 2024 Apr 1;223(4):e202402093. doi: 10.1083/jcb.202402093. Epub 2024 Feb 29.

Abstract

We have made tremendous progress in identifying the machines that shape the architecture of actin filaments. However, we know less about the mechanisms mediating myosin assembly at the supramolecular level. In this issue, Quintanilla et al. (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202305023) provide important new insights into this process.
