Abstract excerpt
Drosophila flapwing (flw) codes for serine/threonine protein phosphatase type 1beta (PP1beta). Regulation of nonmuscle myosin activity is the single essential flw function that is nonredundant with the three closely related PP1alpha genes. Flw is thought to dephosphorylate the nonmuscle myosin regulatory light chain, Spaghetti Squash (Sqh); this inactivates the nonmuscle myosin heavy chain, Zipper (Zip). Thus,...
