Cargo Recognition Mechanisms of Yeast Myo2 Revealed by AlphaFold2-Powered Protein Complex Prediction.

ABSTRACT: Myo2, a yeast class V myosin, transports a broad range of organelles and plays important roles in various cellular processes, including cell division in budding yeast. Despite the fact that several structures of Myo2/cargo adaptor complexes have been determined, the understanding of the versatile cargo-binding modes of Myo2 is still very limited, given the large number of cargo adaptors identified for Myo2. Here, we used ColabFold, an AlphaFold2-powered and easy-to-use tool, to predict the complex structures of Myo2-GTD and its several cargo adaptors. After benchmarking the prediction strategy with three Myo2/cargo adaptor complexes that have been determined previously, we successfully predicted the atomic structures of Myo2-GTD in complex with another three cargo adaptors, Vac17, Kar9 and
