    text
  • present in nucleoli where it co-localises with RNA polymerase I, and newly synthesised ribosomal RNA (rRNA), indicating that it may play a role in transcription
  • basic FUNCTION
  • having a motor activity
  • regulating plasma membrane recycling through its association with Rab11a
  • RAB11A, MYO5B, RAB11FIP2 regulate plasma membrane recycling in epithelial cells
  • play critical roles in the proper trafficking and recycling of a large number of diverse intracellular cargoes (Roland 2009)
  • Ca2+-sensitive motor, conducts spine trafficking during long-term potentiation of synaptic strength
  • may provide a molecular basis for actin-dependent organelle transport and regulate membrane trafficking along the recycling pathway in polarized epithelial cells
  • multifunctional motors recruited by a variety of Rab proteins to perform multiple tasks in a variety of distinct and overlapping recycling system (Roland 2009)
  • potentially serves a role in rRNA transcription
  • with other myosin 5, are important modulator of synaptic plasticity
  • having an important role in the transport and turnover of mRNA
  • MYO5A, MYO5B, and MYO5C, are involved in transport of multiple cargoes
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell communication
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • MYO5B/RAB11A/RAB11FIP2 platform is spatially involved in the regulation of CD207 trafficking at two distinct sites within live cells
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule nucleotide,
  • ATP
  • protein
  • interacting with RAB11FIP2
  • binding to actin
  • binding to calmodulin
  • interacting with CFTR (required for CFTR recycling in RAB11a-specific apical recycling endosomes in polarized human airway epithelial cells)
  • can interact with RAB10, based on the presence of an alternatively spliced exon sequence (Roland 2009)
  • interact with RAB11A and RAB8 in different recycling systems
  • effector for RAB8a, RABb10, and RABb11a, all of which are implicated in regulating different pathways for recycling of proteins to the plasma membrane (MYO5B is required for apical membrane trafficking and de novo lumen formation, dependent on association with both RAB8a and RAB11a)
  • RAB10 interaction with myosin Vb (MYO5B) determines the formation of RAB10 carriers and is important for axon development
  • tripartite association of RAB11A with both RAB11FIP2 and MYO5B regulates recycling endosome trafficking
  • membrane tethering mediated by endosomal RAB11A is drastically and selectively stimulated by its cognate Rab effectors, MYO5A and MYO5B, in a GTP-dependent manner
