Exploring the iceberg: Prospects of coordinated myosin V and actin assembly functions in transport processes.
Small GTPases 2017 April 11
Spir actin nucleators and myosin V motor proteins were recently discovered to coexist in a protein complex. The direct interaction allows the coordinated activation of actin motor proteins and actin filament track generation at vesicle membranes. By now the cooperation of myosin V (MyoV) motors and Spir actin nucleation function has only been shown in the exocytic transport of Rab11 vesicles in metaphase mouse oocytes. Next to Rab11, myosin V motors however interact with a variety of Rab GTPases including Rab3, Rab8 and Rab10. As a common theme most of the MyoV interacting Rab GTPases function at different steps along the exocytic transport routes. We here summarize the different transport functions of class V myosins and provide as proof of principle data showing a colocalization of Spir actin nucleators and MyoVa at Rab8a vesicles. This suggests that besides Rab11/MyoV transport also the Rab8/MyoV and possibly other MyoV transport processes recruit Spir actin filament nucleation function.
