Headless Myo10 Is a Negative Regulator of Full-length Myo10 and Inhibits Axon Outgrowth in Cortical Neurons
2 Jun 2012
Abstract excerpt
Myo10 is an unconventional myosin that localizes to and induces filopodia, structures that are critical for growing axons. In addition to the ~240-kDa full-length Myo10, brain expresses a ~165 kDa isoform that lacks a functional motor domain and is known as headless Myo10. We and others have hypothesized that headless Myo10 acts as an endogenous dominant negative of full-length Myo10, but this hypothesis has not...
