Myosin-1s are monomeric actin-based motors that function at membranes. Myo1 is the single myosin-1 isoform in <i>Schizosaccharomyces pombe</i> that works redundantly with Wsp1-Vrp1 to activate the Arp2/3 complex for endocytosis. Here, we identified Ank1 as an uncharacterized cytoplasmic Myo1 binding partner. We found that in <i>ank1Δ</i> cells, Myo1 dramatically redistributed from endocytic patches to decorate the entire plasma membrane and endocytosis was defective. Biochemical analysis and str ...[more]
