Changing step size of a graph

I'm currently making a function that creates a graph for a given set of x and y data and I need to scale my X axis so that the step values are by 5 instead of the 10 that it creates automatically. How would I go about doing that? My current code is below.
file = load('SampleXYData.mat');
xData = file.xData;
yData = file.yData;
myFig = gcf;
myAx = axes(myFig);
myPlot = scatter(myAx, xData, yData);
myPlot.Marker = 'x';
myAx.Title.String = 'Scatter Plot';
myAx.YAxis.Label.String = 'Y';
myAx.XAxis.Label.String = 'X';
myAx.Box = 'on';
endAt = length(myAx.XAxis.TickLabels);
for i = 1:endAt
cVal = str2double(myAx.XAxis.TickLabels{i});
if mod(cVal , 10) == 0
myAx.XAxis.TickLabels{i} = ['\bf', myAx.XAxis.TickLabels{i}];
end
end

How would I write a vector that would increase by 5 until the end? I know how to set it at a given value, but I want to have it works for varying sets of data.
I tried this, but it gave me an error saying "the end operator must be used within an array index expression'
myAx.XTick = (1:5:end)

Assuming we want the same extreme values:
myAx.XTick=myAx.XTick(1):5:myAx.XTick(end);
