What's a GeneRIF?

Data suggest a model in which simultaneous interactions between the microtubule and dynein enables myosin 4 (She1) to directly affect dynein motility.
Title: She1 affects dynein through direct interactions with the microtubule and the dynein microtubule-binding domain.
Results indicate that inhibition of dynein activity by She1 is important to prevent excessive detachment of cytoplasmic microtubules, particularly in G1 cells.
Title: Constitutive dynein activity in She1 mutants reveals differences in microtubule attachment at the yeast spindle pole body.
multiple, nonprocessive Myo4 motors can generate continuous transport of mRNA to the bud tip
Title: Multiple Myo4 motors enhance ASH1 mRNA transport in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the MyoV motor Myo4p interacts with She3p to localize asymmetric synthesis of HO 1 (ASH1) mRNA into the bud of dividing cells
Title: The structure of the Myo4p globular tail and its function in ASH1 mRNA localization.
The most important feature for correct localization is the retention of coupling between all the members of the complex (Myo4p-She3p-She2p-ASH1 mRNA), which is aided by She3p being a tightly bound subunit of Myo4p.
Title: Essential features of the class V myosin from budding yeast for ASH1 mRNA transport.
continuous transport of mRNA by Myo4p-She3p in yeast is accomplished either by multiple high duty cycle monomers or by molecules that may be dimerized by She2p, the homodimeric downstream binding partner of She3p
Title: She3p binds to the rod of yeast myosin V and prevents it from dimerizing, forming a single-headed motor complex.
These results suggest that the oligomeric state of Myo4p is important for its motility and ability to transport mRNA.
Title: Myo4p is a monomeric myosin with motility uniquely adapted to transport mRNA.
anchoring of ASH1 mRNA requires molecular remodeling of the Myo4p-She3p-She2p heterotrimeric complex, a process that is apparently altered when mRNA is artificially tethered to She2p.
Title: ASH1 mRNA anchoring requires reorganization of the Myo4p-She3p-She2p transport complex.
