Molecular mechanism of myosin-II assembly at the division site in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
15 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells divide by virtue of the F-actin-based contractile ring (F-actin ring). Two myosin-II heavy chains, Myo2 and Myp2/Myo3, have been localized to the F-actin ring. Here, we investigated the mechanism of myosin-II assembly at the division site in S. pombe cells. First, we showed that Cdc4, an EF-hand protein, appears to be a common myosin light chain associated with both Myo2 and Myo3....
