Dictyostelium myosin II null mutant can still cap Con A receptors.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 2 Sept 1997

Aguado-Velasco C, Bretscher M S

Abstract excerpt

Cross-linked antigens on the surface of a motile cell cap at the trailing end of the cell. In Dictyostelium discoideum, myosin II null mutants have previously been reported to be unable to cap Con A receptors, although they are able to locomote. This finding implicated myosin II as an essential component of the capping mechanism, although not of the machinery for locomotion. Here we show that myosin II null...
