Abstract:
The continuous discovery of diverse myosin molecules reveals that the motor domain of myosin is used for many different types of functions. Recent data imply that myosins play active roles in signal transduction pathways, in which they modulate the activities of other proteins and properly position signalling activities at the cytoskeleton-membrane interface.
