Abstract excerpt
Two actin-dependent force generators contribute to mitochondrial inheritance: Arp2/3 complex and the myosin V Myo2p (together with its Rab-like binding partner Ypt11p). We found that deletion of YPT11, reduction of the length of the Myo2p lever arm (myo2-Delta6IQ), or deletion of MYO4 (the other yeast myosin V), had no effect on mitochondrial morphology, colocalization of mitochondria with actin cables, or the...
