Myosin is a protein that binds to F-actin and has ATPase activity that is activated by F-actin. [MLE_ARGIR] In molluscan muscle, calcium regulation is associated with myosin rather than with actin. Muscle myosin contains two types of light chains: the catalytic light chain, essential for ATPase activity, and the regulatory light chain, a calcium-binding protein responsible for Ca(2+) dependent binding and Ca(2+) dependent Mg-ATPase activity.

Publication Abstract from PubMed The regulatory domain of scallop myosin is a three-chain protein complex that switches on this motor in response to Ca2+ binding. This domain has been crystallized and the structure solved to 2.8 A resolution. Side-chain interactions link the two light chains in tandem to adjacent segments of the heavy chain bearing the IQ-sequence motif. The Ca(2+)-binding site is a novel EF-hand motif on the essential light chain and is stabilized by linkages involving the heavy chain and both light chains, accounting for the requirement of all three chains for Ca2+ binding and regulation in the intact myosin molecule.
