Effect of specific myosin tail expression on ER structure.
A, transient expression of RFP in 16c plants at 2 dpa. ER network structure is not affected and the normal tubular ER structure is seen. B, expression of myosin XI-2 tails in 16c plants.

Identification of Myosin XI Receptors in Arabidopsis Defines a Distinct Class of Transport Vesicles
To characterize the mechanism through which myosin XI-K attaches to its principal endomembrane cargo, a yeast two-hybrid library of Arabidopsis thaliana cDNAs was screened using the myosin cargo binding domain as bait.

The reticular network of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) consists of tubular and lamellar elements and is arranged in the cortical region of plant cells. This network constantly shows shape change and remodeling motion.

Myosins, a superfamily of actin dependent molecular motors, perform essential functions in all eukaryotes. Full length functional plant myosins have been difficult to isolate due to their sus-ceptibility to proteases.

Myosin proteins function as molecular motors that drive the ATP-dependent movement of cellular components along actin filaments. Vascular plants encode two different types of myosin, referred to as class VIII and class XI.

Reverse Genetics Approach to Examine Myosin XI Functions in Pollen Tube Growth
Pollen tube growth is an essential aspect of plant reproduction because it is the mechanism through which non-motile sperm cells are delivered to ovules thus allowing fertilization to occur.

Phosphorylation Regulates Myosin Driven Organelle Movements
Cytoplasmic streaming in plant cells is the continuous flow of cytoplasm and organelles throughout the cell, with the first observation of cytoplasmic streaming being publicized in 1774.
