Role of fission yeast myosin I in organization of sterol-rich membrane domains.
Current biology : CB - 26 Jul 2005
Takeda Tetsuya, Chang Fred
Abstract excerpt
Specialized membrane domains containing lipid rafts are thought to be important for membrane processes such as signaling and trafficking. An unconventional type I myosin has been shown to reside in lipid rafts and function to target a disaccharidase to rafts in brush borders of intestinal mammalian cells. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, distinct sterol-rich membrane domains are formed at the cell...
