Anti-Myosin VI

myosin VI(MYO6) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a reverse-direction motor protein that moves toward the minus end of actin filaments and plays a role in intracellular vesicle and organelle transport. The protein consists of a motor domain containing an ATP- and an actin-binding site and a globular tail which interacts with other proteins. This protein maintains the structural integrity of inner ear hair cells and mutations in this gene cause non-syndromic autosomal dominant and recessive hearing loss. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014], Protein function: Myosins are actin-based motor molecules with ATPase activity. Unconventional myosins serve in intracellular movements. Myosin 6 is a reverse-direction motor protein that moves towards the minus-end of actin filaments (PubMed:10519557). Has slow rate of actin-activated ADP release due to weak ATP binding. Functions in a variety of intracellular processes such as vesicular membrane trafficking and cell migration. Required for the structural integrity of the Golgi apparatus via the p53-dependent pro-survival pathway (PubMed:16507995). Appears to be involved in a very early step of clathrin-mediated endocytosis in polarized epithelial cells (PubMed:11447109). Together with TOM1, mediates delivery of endocytic cargo to autophagosomes thereby promoting autophagosome maturation and driving fusion with lysosomes (PubMed:23023224). Links TOM1 with autophagy receptors, such as TAX1BP1, CALCOCO2/NDP52 and OPTN (PubMed:31371777). May act as a regulator of F-actin dynamics. As part of the DISP complex, may regulate the association of septins with actin and thereby regulate the actin cytoskeleton (PubMed:29467281). May play a role in transporting DAB2 from the plasma membrane to specific cellular targets. May play a role in the extension and network organization of neurites. Required for structural integrity of inner ear hair cells. Modulates RNA polymerase II-dependent transcription (PubMed:16949370).

Cellular localization: Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network membrane , Peripheral membrane protein . Golgi apparatus . Nucleus . Cytoplasm, perinuclear region . Membrane, clathrin-coated pit . Cytoplasmic vesicle, clathrin-coated vesicle . Cell projection, filopodium . Cell projection, ruffle membrane . Cell projection, microvillus . Cytoplasm, cytosol . Also present in endocyctic vesicles (PubMed:16507995). Translocates from membrane ruffles, endocytic vesicles and cytoplasm to Golgi apparatus, perinuclear membrane and nucleus through induction by p53 and p53-induced DNA damage (PubMed:16507995). Recruited into membrane ruffles from cell surface by EGF-stimulation (PubMed:9852149). Colocalizes with DAB2 in clathrin-coated pits/vesicles (PubMed:11967127). Colocalizes with OPTN at the Golgi complex and in vesicul
