Motor activity of nonmuscle myosin 2A is a key component of bipolar filament turnover in cells

2026-03-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Cell contractility plays numerous essential roles in a healthy organism, while its malfunctioning can lead to disease. The ubiquitous actin-dependent motors of the nonmuscle myosin 2 (NM2) family, which includes NM2A and NM2B, are chiefly responsible for cell contractility because of their ability to polymerize into bipolar filaments. Polymerization/depolymerization of NM2 filaments allows cells...
