Abstract excerpt
Myosin phosphatase is a heterotrimeric holoenzyme consisting of myosin phosphatase-targeting subunit 1 (MYPT1), a catalytic subunit of PP1Cβ, and a 20-kDa subunit of an unknown function. We have previously reported that myosin phosphatase also controls mitosis, apparently by antagonizing polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1). Here we found that depletion of MYPT1 by siRNA led to precocious chromatid segregation when HeLa...
