Role of Myosin Va in the plasticity of the vertebrate neuromuscular junction in vivo.

BACKGROUND: Myosin Va is a motor protein involved in vesicular transport and its absence leads to movement disorders in humans (Griscelli and Elejalde syndromes) and rodents (e.g. dilute lethal phenotype in mice). We examined the role of myosin Va in the postsynaptic plasticity of the vertebrate neu...
