The kinesin, dynein, and myosin superfamily molecular motors have fundamental roles in
neuronal function, plasticity, morphogenesis, and survival by transporting cargos such as …

Members of the myosin superfamily are actin-based molecular motors that are
indispensable for cellular homeostasis. The vast functional and structural diversity of …

Learning-related plasticity at excitatory synapses in the mammalian brain requires the
trafficking of AMPA receptors and the growth of dendritic spines. However, the mechanisms …

The distinct electrical properties of axonal and dendritic membranes are largely a result of
specific transport of vesicle-bound membrane proteins to each compartment. How this …

The delivery of intracellular material within cells is crucial for maintaining normal function.
Myosins transport a wide variety of cargo, ranging from vesicles to ribonuclear protein …

Vesicle transport requires four steps: vesicle formation, movement, tethering, and fusion. In
yeast, two Rab GTPases, Ypt31/32, are required for post-Golgi vesicle formation. A third Rab …

Intramolecular interaction between myosin heads, blocking key sites involved in actin-
binding and ATPase activity, appears to be a critical mechanism for switching off vertebrate …

Griscelli syndrome (GS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in
either the myosin VA (GS1), RAB27A (GS2) or melanophilin (GS3) genes. The three GS …

Unconventional myosins are multi-potent molecular motors that are assigned important roles
in fundamental cellular processes. Depending on their mechano-enzymatic properties and …
