Summary: Enables several functions, including actin filament binding activity; calmodulin binding activity; and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including establishment of mitotic spindle orientation; intracellular distribution of mitochondria; and organelle inheritance. Located in several cellular components, including cellular bud tip; fungal-type vacuole membrane; and incipient cellular bud site. Part of Myo2p-Vac17p-Vac8p transport complex; filamentous actin; and meiotic nuclear membrane microtubule tethering complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Griscelli syndrome type 1. Orthologous to human MYO5A (myosin VA) and MYO5C (myosin VC). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Cargo Recognition Mechanisms of Yeast Myo2 Revealed by AlphaFold2-Powered Protein Complex Prediction.
Title: Cargo Recognition Mechanisms of Yeast Myo2 Revealed by AlphaFold2-Powered Protein Complex Prediction.
Unlike myo2-E1-Sup1, a previously characterized myo2-E1 suppressor, myo2-E1-Sup2 reverses actomyosin ring contraction defects in vitro and in vivo. Structural analysis of available myosin motor domain conformations suggests that a steric clash in myo2-E1, which is caused by the replacement of a glycine with a bulky arginine, is relieved in myo2-E1-Sup2 by mutation of a tyrosine to a smaller cysteine.
Title: Steric hindrance in the upper 50 kDa domain of the motor Myo2p leads to cytokinesis defects in fission yeast.
Upon arrival at the bud cortex, Vac17 is phosphorylated by Cla4. Cla4-dependent phosphorylation is required for the ubiquitylation and subsequent degradation of Vac17 and the release of the vacuole from Myo2.
Title: Spatial regulation of organelle release from myosin V transport by p21-activated kinases.
spatial and temporal regulation of myosin V in vivo by a head-to-tail interaction is critical for the normal delivery functions of the motor.
Title: Head-to-tail regulation is critical for the in vivo function of myosin V.
These findings reveal a new fast-acting energy conservation strategy halting growth by immobilizing myosin V in a newly described state on selectively stabilized actin cables.
Title: Rapid glucose depletion immobilizes active myosin V on stabilized actin cables.
myosin-V is activated by binding a secretory vesicle and that myosin-V mutations that compromise vesicle binding render the motor constitutively active
Title: Myosin-V is activated by binding secretory cargo and released in coordination with Rab/exocyst function.
Myo2p is not processive on bare actin but highly processive on actin-tropomyosin. Tpm1p supports the most robust processivity.
Title: Tropomyosin is essential for processive movement of a class V myosin from budding yeast.
Myo2p interacts with Pex19p
Title: Pex19p contributes to peroxisome inheritance in the association of peroxisomes to Myo2p.
It was shown that Mmr1 functions as a mitochondria-specific cargo adaptor early in the cell cycle and that Mmr1 binds Myo2 at the site that binds Vac17.
Title: Overlap of cargo binding sites on myosin V coordinates the inheritance of diverse cargoes.
identified the Sec15-binding region on Myo2 and residues on Sec15 required for interaction with Myo2. That Myo2 interacts with Sec15 uncovers additional roles for the exocyst as an adaptor for molecular motors.
Title: Myosin V transports secretory vesicles via a Rab GTPase cascade and interaction with the exocyst complex.
