Drosophila myosin phosphatase and its role in dorsal closure.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Mar 2002

Mizuno Tomoaki, Tsutsui Kyoko, Nishida Yasuyoshi

Abstract excerpt

Myosin phosphatase negatively regulates nonmuscle myosin II through dephosphorylation of the myosin regulatory light chain (MRLC). Its regulatory myosin-binding subunit, MBS, is responsible for regulating the catalytic subunit in response to upstream signals and for determining the substrate specificity. DMBS, the Drosophila homolog of MBS, was identified to study the roles of myosin phosphatase in morphogenesis....
