Myosin IIIa boosts elongation of stereocilia by transporting espin 1 to the plus ends of actin filaments. Salles, F. T, Merritt, R. C, Manor, U., Dougherty, G. W, Sousa, A. D, Moore, J. E, Yengo, C. M, Dosé, A. C, & Kachar, B. Nature Cell Biology, 11(4):443–450, 2009.
Myosin IIIa boosts elongation of stereocilia by transporting espin 1 to the plus ends of actin filaments [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Actin filaments in stereocilia on the surface of inner ear sensory hair cells are continually renewed. Myosin IIIa transports the actin-binding/bundling protein espin to stereocilia tips and cooperates with espin in actin filament elongation.
