The type V myosin-containing complex HUM is a RAB11 effector powering movement of secretory vesicles.

ABSTRACT: In the apex-directed RAB11 exocytic pathway of Aspergillus nidulans, kinesin-1/KinA conveys secretory vesicles (SVs) to the hyphal tip, where they are transferred to the type V myosin MyoE. MyoE concentrates SVs at an apical store located underneath the PM resembling the presynaptic active zone. A rod-shaped RAB11 effector, UDS1, and the intrinsically disordered and coiled-coil HMSV associate with MyoE in a stable HUM (HMSV-UDS1-MyoE) complex recruited by RAB11 to SVs through an interaction network involving RAB11 and HUM components, with the MyoE globular tail domain (GTD) binding both HMSV and RAB11-GTP and RAB11-GTP binding both the MyoE-GTD and UDS1. UDS1 bridges RAB11-GTP to HMSV, an avid interactor of the MyoE-GTD. The interaction between the UDS1-HMSV sub-complex and RAB11-GT
