What is the basic structural organisation of all myosins?
One or two heavy chains forming the motor (head) domain plus several light chains bound to the neck region.
What is the structure of myosin II ?
two head domains and two light chains per neck
only class that assemble into bipolarfilaments

What is the structure of myosin I ?
the only myosins to have a single head domain
some of these myosins associate directly with membranes through lipid interactions

what is the structure of myosin III ?
two head domains and six light chains per neck.
Bind specific receptors (brown box) on organelles, which they transport

what do all of these myosin classes have in common?
move toward the (+) end of actin filaments
- only myosin VI moves (cargo) towards (-) end of an actin filament
