Identification of a second myosin-II in Schizosaccharomyces pombe: Myp2p is conditionally required for cytokinesis.

Molecular biology of the cell - 1 Dec 1997

Bezanilla M, Forsburg S L, Pollard T D

Abstract excerpt

As in many eukaryotic cells, fission yeast cytokinesis depends on the assembly of an actin ring. We cloned myp2(+), a myosin-II in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, conditionally required for cytokinesis. myp2(+), the second myosin-II identified in S. pombe, does not completely overlap in function with myo2(+). The catalytic domain of Myp2p is highly homologous to known myosin-IIs, and phylogenetic analysis places Myp2p...
