9. Structural dynamics-based approach reveals that the E56G mutation in human ventricular essential light chain affects the structure of the actin-myosin complex in the presence of ATP.

16. Data suggest a mutation in MYL2 (amino acid substitution D94A; novel mutation in familial dilated cardiomyopathy) does affect conformation (reduced alpha-helical content) and function (reduced binding of myosin heavy chain; increased ATPase) of MYL2. PMID: 25825243
17. Four novel body mass index-associated loci near the KCNQ1(rs2237892), ALDH2/MYL2 (rs671, rs12229654), ITIH4 (rs2535633) and NT5C2 (rs11191580) genes are identified in East Asian-ancestry populations. PMID: 24861553
18. Results suggest that Aurora B, but not Rho/MLCK (myosin-light-chain kinase) signaling, is essential for the localization of 2P-MRLC (myosin regulatory light chains) to the midzone in dividing HeLa cells. PMID: 23951055
19. an interplay between phosphorylation and glycosylation of MLC2, which might be involved in the development of muscle atrophy and associated changes PMID: 24184274
20. Newly implicated variants (MYL2, C12orf51 and OAS1) were found to be significantly associated with 1-h plasma glucose as predisposing risk factors for type 2 diabetes. PMID: 23575436
