“…For example, vertebrate myosin Va moves melanosomes in melanocytes ( Provance et al, 1996 ; Nascimento et al, 1997 ; Wu et al, 1997 ; Rogers and Gelfand, 1998 ), the smooth ER in brain Purkinje cells ( Takagishi et al, 1996 ), membranous vesicles in nerve cells ( Evans et al, 1998 ), and chromaffin vesicles ( Rose et al, 2003 ). Moreover, within a single cell type, myosin Va likely moves more than one type of cargo ( da Silva Bizario et al, 2002 ). In S. cerevisiae , the myosin V, Myo2p, is essential and transports secretory vesicles, the vacuole, late Golgi, and peroxisomes ( Govindan et al, 1995 ; Hill et al, 1996 ; Catlett and Weisman, 1998 ; Schott et al, 1999 ; Karpova et al, 2000 ; Hoepfner et al, 2001 ; Rossanese et al, 2001 ).…”
