The motor activity of myosin-X promotes actin fiber convergence at the cell periphery to initiate filopodia formation

Filopodia are actin-rich fingerlike protrusions found at the leading edge of migrating cells and are believed to play a role in directional sensing. Previous studies have shown that myosin-X (myoX) promotes filopodia formation and that this is mediated through its ability to deliver specific cargoes...
