Low-level expression of full-length eGFP-myosin-Vb (green) shows rare, dynamic colocalization (circles) of myosin-Vb and transferrin (red); same cell as shown in Figure 1D–F. Frame acquisition rate, 0.5/sec; elapsed seconds are displayed at lower right.

Overexpression of full-length eGFP-myosin-Vb (green) in the presence of transferrin (red; added at the time of transfection) produces enlarged, less-motile peripheral endosomes decorated with myosin-Vb and containing transferrin at 24 h post transfection; same cells as shown in Figure 2D–F. Frame acquisition rate, 0.5/sec; elapsed seconds are displayed at lower right.

Chemical-genetic inhibition of sensitized mutant (Y119G) eGFP-myosin-Vb by PE-ADP microinjection does not prevent movement of transferrin-positive particles. Cells were loaded with fluorescent transferrin (red) 30 min before myosin-Vb was inhibited in the center cell by PE-ADP. Frame acquisition rate, 1/sec; frame display rate, 3/sec.

Chemical-genetic inhibition of sensitized mutant (Y119G) eGFP-myosin-Vb by PE-ADP microinjection (cell on left) halts movement of all myosin-Vb-decorated particles, including those being transported via microtubules; same field as Figure 3A. Uninjected control cell is on the right. Frame acquisition rate, 1/sec; frame display rate, 10/sec.
