The tail of a yeast class V myosin, myo2p, functions as a localization domain.

Molecular biology of the cell - 1 Apr 1999

Abstract excerpt

Myo2p is a yeast class V myosin that functions in membrane trafficking. To investigate the function of the carboxyl-terminal-tail domain of Myo2p, we have overexpressed this domain behind the regulatable GAL1 promoter (MYO2DN). Overexpression of the tail domain of Myo2p results in a dominant-negative phenotype that is phenotypically similar to a temperature-sensitive allele of myo2, myo2-66. The tail domain of...
