Myosin VI-interacting proteins. A schematic overview of myosin VI binding partners identified in mammalian cells/tissues (yellow) and in Drosophila (blue). Previously known Drosophila myosin VI binding partners are highlighted in green, and the unique direct-binding proteins identified in Finan et al. (4) are in blue. Thus far, only GIPC/Kermit (purple) has been shown to bind to both mammalian and Drosophila myosin VI.
