Schematic representation comparing the sequences of the expressed myosin V constructs to wild-type myosin V. We constructed two COOH terminally truncated myosin V constructs, M5HMM and M5HMM(tag), where amino acids 1099–1853 were removed. Note that removal of the residues, which include the tail region of the molecule, results in a M5HMM protein that resembles the proteolytic HMM fragment of vertebrate smooth and skeletal muscle. M5HMM and M5HMM(tag) are identical except that M5HMM(tag) contains the S2.2 epitope for specific attachment to the motility surface (described in Materials and methods).
