Abstract
The cytoplasm of cells is teeming with vesicles and other cargo that are moving along tracks of microtubules or actin filaments, powered by myosins, kinesins and dyneins. Myosin V has been implicated in several types of intracellular transport. The mechanism by which myosin V moves processively along actin filaments has been the subject of many biophysical and biochemical studies and a consensus is starting to emerge about how this minute molecular motor operates.
