  • Title: Molecular motors: sensing a function for myosin-VIIa.
    Author: Hasson T.
    Journal: Curr Biol; 1999 Nov 18; 9(22):R838-41. PubMed ID: 10574757.
    Abstract:
    Mutations affecting myosin-VIIa are known to cause deafness and blindness in human Usher syndrome. Mutation of the Dictyostelium myosin-VII gene has now revealed a role for this unconventional myosin in phagocytic events, providing a possible clue to the role of mammalian myosin-VIIa in the inner ear and retina.
