MyosinVa and dynamic actin oppose minus-end directed microtubule motors to drive anterograde melanosome transport

The intracellular transport of organelles and vesicles is thought to utilise both microtubules and actin filaments, which mediate long and short-range transport, respectively. Melanosomes, synthesised in melanocytes, are a convenient model organelle to study intracellular transport, since they are v...
