Abstract excerpt
Non-muscle myosin 2A (NM2A), a widely expressed class 2 myosin, is important for organizing actin filaments in cells. It cycles between a compact inactive 10S state in which its regulatory light chain (RLC) is dephosphorylated and a filamentous state in which the myosin heads interact with actin, and the RLC is phosphorylated. Over 170 missense mutations in MYH9, the gene that encodes the NM2A heavy chain, have...
