English: Movie S8. Overexpression of a myosin tail inhibits movement of the novel protein bodies. A dominant-negative mutant of myosin XI-K was co-agro-infiltrated with pPGEK into the leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana and visualized 3 days post-transfection by confocal microscopy. As a result, protein body (PB) trafficking was prevented with the PBs simply oscillating in place, suggesting that a functional actomyosin motility system is required for active PB movement, but is not necessary for the formation of PBs. Fifty image frames were taken over the course of 3 min 34 s.
