Movement by non-actin filament mechanisms.
Non-actin contractile MFS exist in Protozoa. Their chemical constitution is partially known. They are ATP-independent, but their various physiological characters can be ultrastructurally grouped into two types: either, as it is the case for actin, they are closely associated to the endoplasmic reticulum apparatus, or they form myonemal bundles which are not related to any other organelle.
