Abstract excerpt
The tail of the yeast myosin V encoded by Myo2p is known to bind several receptors for cargo delivery along polarized actin cables. However, it is not known how Myo2p activity is regulated or how it selects between cargoes. Here we show that Myo2p is reversibly phosphorylated in vivo. A short peptide at the N-terminal end of the cargo-binding domain contains three residues contributing to single or doubly...
