Myosin IB null mutants of Dictyostelium exhibit abnormalities in motility.

Cell motility and the cytoskeleton - 1 Jan 1991

Wessels D, Murray J, Jung G, Hammer J A, Soll D R

Abstract excerpt

Cellular and intracellular motility are compared between normal Dictyostelium amoebae and amoebae lacking myosin IB (DMIB-). DMIB- cells generate elongated cell shapes, form particulate-free pseudopodia filled with F-actin, and exhibit an anterior bias in pseudopod extension in a fashion similar...
