Color change in lower vertebrates and some invertebrates is brought about by the coordinated movement of thousands of pigment-containing vesicles within discoid or stellate-shaped specialized cells termed chromate phores. The centripetal movement of pigment granules towards the cell center, a process referred to as aggregation, leads to lightening of the skin, whereas their more or less uniform distribution throughout the cell body, or dispersion, tints the body surface of the animal according to the color of the pigment. Simple manipulations of the medium bathing the chromatophores will elicit the centripetal or centrifugal (inward or outward, retrograde or anterograde) movement of pigment granules along radial pathways at rates of up to 8 pdsec. As such pigment transport is but one admittedly striking manifestation of the ability of virtually all eukaryotic cells to move membrane-bound organelles rapidly and vectorially about the cytoplasm. Other examples of this fundamental cellular activity include fast axonal transport or particle movements in reticulopodial networks of certain protozoans such as Allogromia and Reticulomyxa. Notwithstanding two decades of intense research, the molecular mechanisms of organelle transport in general and pigment granule transport in particular have eluded investigators, except for the general conclusion that microtubules are somehow involved. This notion was based on the findings that microtubule distribution correlates spatially with the pathways of organelles and that their depolymerization leads to cessation of these movements. The identity of the molecule (s) that drive organelle transport remained entirely unclear; in fact, even the basic question of whether microtubules are directly involved or merely serve as guidelines for the action of a microtubule-independent motor (eg, actomyosin) could not be resolved to everyone’s satisfaction (for recent reviews, see Schliwa, 1984;
