Crossing the tracks

Jon Reynolds

Classically, we have learnt that kinesin and dynein move along microtubules, whereas myosin binds to actin. But in more recent times, the need for crosstalk between the two cytoskeletons in many cellular processes has become increasingly apparent, and the finding now that Myo10 may bind to microtubules as well as actin offers yet another mechanism by which this crosstalk can occur.
