BIG1 is a binding partner of myosin IXb and regulates its Rho-GTPase activating protein activity.

Abstract excerpt

Myosin IXb, a member of the myosin superfamily, is a molecular motor that possesses a GTPase activating protein (GAP) for Rho. Through the yeast two-hybrid screening using the tail domain of myosin IXb as bait we found BIG1, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf1), as a potential binding partner for myosin IXb. The interaction between myosin IXb and BIG1 was demonstrated by...
