Cryo-EM structure of shutdown human non-muscle myosin 2A
Determining the high-resolution structure of the widely expressed non-muscle myosin 2A (NM2A), in its dephosphorylated shutdown state, is important in understanding its regulation and disease roles. I...

🚨 New paper alert! 🧬
Excited to share our latest preprint from the @michellepeckham.bsky.social lab 🎉

We reveal the structure of human non-muscle myosin 2A — showing how ionic interactions control auto-inhibition ⚡ and how disease mutations disrupt it 💪

Happy to share the inaugural paper from the lab. We describe a molecular mechanism for the activation of outer dynein arm motors that power the vital motion of cilia.
