Dictyostelium and Acanthamoeba myosin II assembly domains go to the cleavage furrow of Dictyostelium myosin II-null cells.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 27 May 2003

Shu Shi, Liu Xiong, Korn Edward D

Abstract excerpt

How myosin II localizes to the cleavage furrow of dividing cells is largely unknown. We show here that a 283-residue protein, assembly domain (AD)1, corresponding to the AD in the tail of Dictyostelium myosin II assembles into bundles of long tubules when expressed in myosin II-null cells and localizes to the cleavage furrow of dividing cells. AD1 mutants that do not polymerize in vitro do not go to the cleavage...
