Abstract excerpt
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae myosin-V, Myo2p, is essential for polarized growth, most likely through transport of secretory vesicles to the developing bud. Myo2p is also required for vacuole movement, a process not essential for growth. The globular region of the myosin-V COOH-terminal tail domain is proposed to bind cargo. Through random mutagenesis of this globular tail, we isolated six new single point mutants...
