Abstract excerpt

To elucidate the role of phosphorylation in regulation of intracellular distribution of myosin II, we have characterized mutant Dictyostelium cells expressing myosin II that could not be regulated by the phosphorylation on the mapped heavy chain sites, the light chain site, or both sites. Immunof...
