1 Mitosis: New Roles for Myosin-X and Actin at the Spindle
Martin Wühr, Timothy J. Mitchison, Christine M. Field  Current Biology  Volume 18, Issue 19, Pages R912-R914 (October 2008) DOI: /j.cub Copyright © 2008 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Model of the domain structures of myosin-X and their functional associations [10]. Current Biology  , R912-R914DOI: ( /j.cub ) Copyright © 2008 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions

3 Figure 2 Model by Woolner et al. [9] for myosin-X's involvement in spindle-length regulation. Interaction of astral microtubules and cortical F-actin stretch the spindle while microtubule-bound myosin-X pulls on spindle-associated F-actin thereby shortening it.
