Myosin VI: cellular functions and motor properties.

Myosin VI has been localized in membrane ruffles at the leading edge of cells, at the trans-Golgi network compartment of the Golgi complex and in clathrin-coated pits or vesicles, indicating that it functions in a wide variety of intracellular processes. Myosin VI moves along actin filaments towards their minus end, which is the opposite direction to all of the other myosins so far studied (to ...

Myosin VI: a multifunctional motor.

Myosin VI moves towards the minus end of actin filaments unlike all the other myosins so far studied, suggesting that it has unique properties and functions. Myosin VI is present in clathrin-coated pits and vesicles, in membrane ruffles and in the Golgi complex, indicating that it has a wide variety of functions in the cell. To investigate the cellular roles of myosin VI, we have identified a v...

Myosin VI

The recent discovery that the class VI myosin is minus end-directed (Schliwa, 1999; Wells et al., 1999) allows new mechanisms of actin-based motility to exist in cells. This will prompt reexamination of a broad range of cell movements previously difficult to explain by conventional force generating mechanisms. Myosins are a large family of molecular motor proteins divided into 15 or more classe...
