Background
Myosins belong to a superfamily of actin based motor proteins comprising at least 15 or more classes. There are two main groups of myosins: the conventional (class II) and the unconventional myosins. Myosin VI is a relatively abundant widespread unconventional myosin composed of an N-terminal motor domain, a light chain binding neck region, a coil-coiled region, and a highly conserved C-terminal domain. At the _x0018_converter_x0019_ region between the catalytic head and the neck region of myosin VI, there is a characteristic linker of approximately 50 amino acids. Native myosin VI is apparently a two-headed dimer of the heavy chains with each heavy chain bound to calmodulin light chain. Myosin VI is a unique _x0018_reverse_x0019_ actin motor in vitro i.e. to display motility towards the pointed (minus) ends of actin filaments, a direction opposite to all other currently known myosins.
