Membrane motors.
Research over the past 18 months has revealed that many membranous organelles move along both actin filaments and microtubules. It is highly likely that the activity of the microtubule motors, myosins and static linker proteins present on any organelle are co-ordinately regulated and that this control is linked to the processes of membrane traffic itself.
