Myo2p is weakly processive and Myo4p ensembles move processively. Stepping traces and photobleaching of Myo2p-GFP and Myo4p-GFP as measure by FIONA. (A) Myo2p-GFP. (a–c) Stepping traces of representative Myo2p-GFP spots measure by FIONA and (d – f) respective photobleaching of the spots. Only 2% of spots show processive movement illustrated in (f). (B) Myo4p-GFP. (a–c) Stepping traces of representative Myo4p-GFP spots measure by FIONA and (d–f) respective photobleaching of the spots. Monomers (a, d) and potential dimers (b and e) of Myo4p-GFP do not move processively, but ensembles (c and f) of at least three Myo4p-GFPs move processively. Note that Myo2p-GFP and Myo4p-GFP were imaged with different cameras resulting in different spot intensities.
