Domain organization of myosins examined in this report. Myosins are classified into several families based upon the occurrence and distribution of identified domains and sequence motifs in the heavy chain polypeptide. The nomenclature follows that for human and mouse proteins (Berg et al., 2001). This list contains only those myosins for which ESTs were obtained and expression analyzed in zebrafish embryos. The myosin head domain containing the actin- and ATP-binding sites (purple) is largely conserved, with differences identifying various classes. Other domains and motifs are found in only a subset of the proteins.
