Myosin co-localization in plant cells extends cytoskeletal motor hypotheses; leaves open relevance to human cardiac organelle dynamics.
Myosin acts as a membrane-bound motor protein involved in the dynamics and translocation of organelles and the endoplasmic reticulum in onion epidermal cells.
Liebe et al. (1994) studied this question. N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) and cytosolic pH alteration was evaluated on Dynamics and localization of organelles and endoplasmic reticulum. Myosin co-localizes with the endoplasmic reticulum and organelles in onion epidermal cells, supporting its role as a membrane-bound motor protein for their translocation along actin filaments.
