Abstract
Mutations affecting myosin-VIIa are known to cause deafness and blindness in human Usher syndrome. Mutation of the Dictyostelium myosin-VII gene has now revealed a role for this unconventional myosin in phagocytic events, providing a possible clue to the role of mammalian myosin-VIIa in the inner ear and retina.
