THE single-headed myosins called myosin-I were first isolated from the protozoanAcanthamoeba1and subsequently identified in other cells (reviewed in ref. 2). We previously reported evidence that myosin-I is responsible for the movement of membranes, extracted fromAcanthamoeba, along actin filamentsin vitro3. Here we show for the first time that myosin-I can bind directly to NaOH-extracted membranes isolated fromAcanthamoebaand to vesicles of pure lipids with an affinity sufficient for extensive binding in the cell. Membrane-bound myosin-I may provide a mechanism for many cellular movements previously thought to involve filamentous myosin-II.
