Fig. 2. Actin-mediated short-range mitochondrial movement.

Fig. 2.

Both MYO5A and Myo19 motors move mitochondria towards the + end of the actin filaments. Myo19 has been shown to traffick mitochondria into filopodia as well. MYO6 motors move mitochondria towards the – end of the actin filaments. While Myo19 is an outer membrane mitochondrial protein, the other Myosins would require a yet to be identified adaptor protein to link the cargo to the motors.
