Abstract excerpt
Evidence has previously been reported that, during chemotaxis of the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum, cyclic GMP regulates the association of myosin II with the cytoskeleton and that this regulation is effected by inhibiting myosin II heavy chain phosphorylation (Liu and Newell, J. Cell Sci., 90, 123-129, 1988; 98, 483-490, 1991). Here we provide further evidence in support of this hypothesis using...
