We suggest that the vertebrate myosin-I field adopt a common nomenclature system based on the names adopted by the Human Genome Organization (HUGO). At present, the myosin-I nomenclature is very confusing; not only are several systems in use, but several different genes have been given the same name. Despite their faults, we believe that the names adopted by the HUGO nomenclature group for genome annotation are the best compromise, and we recommend universal adoption.

Although originally characterized as a cytoplasmic protein, myosin of various classes also performs key functions in the nucleus. We review the data concerning the nuclear localization, mechanism of entry, and functional interactions of myosin I, II, V, VI, X, XVI, and XVIII. To date, the first-characterized "nuclear myosin I" (or, in the prevailing nomenclature, myosin IC isoform B) remains the best-studied nuclear myosin, although results are rapidly accumulating that illuminate the roles of other myosin classes, and an outline of a unified picture of myosin functions in the nucleus is beginning to emerge.
