Abstract
Arabidopsis is widely used in the field of plant research. Arabidopsis thaliana emerged as a model organism for plant biologists in early nineties. Myosins belong to a super family of molecular motor proteins that occur in probably all eukaryotic cells. These proteins are actively involved in trafficking of cell organelles, including the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, peroxisomes, golgi stacks, and endomembrane vesicles. Myosins are also involved in signal transduction in cell. The present study aims at the analysis of physio-chemical properties of seven myosin XI (XI-A, XI-B, XI-C, XI-D, XI-E, XI-F, and XI-G), their functions, binding sites, sub cellular locations, secondary and tertiary structures prediction. Phylogenetic analysis, molecular simulation and molecular docking will be conducted through using different bioinformatics tools to study the characteristics of these proteins.
