Research progress of myosins and their inhibitors in plant phytopathogenic fungi：a review

Myosins constitute a class of functional proteins that are widely found in eukaryotic organisms and play important roles in the process of various life activities in the cells of living organisms. In addition, myosins derived from phytopathogenic fungi significantly also have significant impacts on the growth and development of fungi and their pathogenicity. In light of these characteristics, more and more researchers are directing their attention towards the development of pesticides targeting myosin. Designing inhibitors based on myosins from phytopathogenic fungi to develop fungicides with novel mechanisms of action will be an important tool for preventing and controlling plant diseases, thereby ensuring food security. This paper focuses on the research progress of myosins and their inhibitors in phytopathogenic fungal and mainly reviews the structural features and biochemical functions, as well as myosin inhibitor fungicides reported in recent years, which can provide a reference for the discovery of myosin target-directed lead compounds of phytopathogenic fungi and the rational design of the active molecules of new pesticides.
