The myosin X motor is optimized for movement on actin bundles
Myosin X is a molecular motor unique in its ability to generate filopodia, but the mechanism explaining this behaviour is not known. Here, through a combination of structure, single-molecule assays and modelling the authors show that myosin X is optimized for transport along actin bundles.
