V : Processive cargo transporter — 38 myosin genes in human genome (3 class V) — 5 myosin genes in yeast (2 class V: MYO2p and MYO4p) Tubulin-based motility: Kinesin and Dynein — Kinesin takes its cargo to + end (away from nucleus) — Dynein takes its cargo to - end Protein molecules which use energy from ATP hydrolysis to move cargo along the cytoskeleton Motor Proteins
least 6 different types of cargoes — Attachment / Detachment — Regulation of motor activity Identified organelle-specific receptors in other myosin V proteins Eukaryotic Single-celled Fungus Model organism Yeast: Saccharomyces cerevisiae Modern Electron Microscopy in Physical and Life Sciences.
