Abstract: When taking a long journey, you may use a train to cover most of the distance then a bus to complete the trip. In the same way, vesicles may be carried around the cell mainly by microtubules, then finish their journey on actin filaments. For the first time, these two processes are shown to link directly by the interaction of a kinesin motor with a myosin motor.
