The small GTPase Rab8 has been shown to regulate polarised membrane trafficking pathways form the TGN to the cell surface. Optineurin is an effector protein of Rab8 and a binding partner of the actin based motor protein myosin VI. In our lab we used various approaches to study the interactions between myosin VI and its binding partners and to analyse their role(s) in intracellular membrane trafficking pathways. In this chapter we describe the use of the mammalian two-hybrid assay to demonstrate protein-protein interactions and to identify binding sites. We describe a secretion assay, which was used in combination with RNA interference technology to analyse the function of myosin VI, optineurin and Rab8 in exocytic membrane trafficking pathways.
