Using fluorescent analogs of myosin-IIA and myosin-IIB, this study examines the localization of the two myosin-II isoforms in live cells. Myosin-IIA and myosin-IIB sort to different regions of the cell with myosin-IIA enriched in lamellipodia and myosin-IIB concentrated in the trailing edges of the cell. Time-lapse imaging also shows differences in the distribution of each isoform during cell migration with myosin-IIA appearing in newly formed structures more rapidly than myosin-IIB, and myosin-IIB maintained in disassembling structures longer than myosin-IIA. These studies clearly demonstrate that myosin-IIA and myosin-IIB have distinct patterns of localization.

Inhibition of myosin-IIB expression with antisense oligonucleotides decreases the length of neurites, but has no effect on neurite number or the extension of small protrusions. These studies indicate that myosin-IIA does not compensate for myosin-IIB in neurite growth and further suggest that the myosin-II isoforms have specialized functions within a particular cell type.

39. m; however, PKC phosphorylation on Ser1/2 has no effect on MLCK. These studies indicate that phosphorylation of the RLC at Ser1/2 as observed in vivo does not inhibit MLCK phosphorylation of the RLC, and suggest that downregulation of myosin-II activity occurs through some other mechanism.

A beautiful study describing the supramolecular organization of actin and myosin-II, and the dynamics of myosin-II rearrangements in fish epidermal keratocytes. In the context of this data, the authors review existing models of cell body translocation and propose an alternative model in which contraction of an actin-myosin-II network positioned in the transition zone between the lamellipodia and cell body drives net forward translocation.

60. Ford HL, Silver DL, Kachar B, Sellers JR, Zain SB Effect of Mts1 on the structure and activity of nonmuscle myosin II. Biochemistry. 36:1997;16321-16327. This study reports the effect of Mts1 on myosin-II activity. Mts1 binds to the rod of nonmuscle myosin-II in a calcium-dependent manner. Binding induces partial depolymerization of myosin-II filaments and inhibits the actin-activated ATPase activity of myosin-II. Alterations in the structure and activity of nonmuscle myosin-II may be the mechanism by which Mts1 regulates cell motility.
61. Kriajevska M, Tarabykina S, Bronstein I, Matiland N, Lomonosov M, Hansen K, Georgiev G, Lukanidin E Metastasis-associated Mts1 (S100A4) protein modulates protein kinase C phosphorylation of the heavy chain of nonmuscle myosin. J Biol Chem. 273:1998;9852-9856. The Mts1 binding site maps to residues 1909-1937 on the carboxy-terminal end of the α-helical rod of myosin-IIA. Mts1 binding inhibits PKC phosphorylation on Ser1917, suggesting that Mts1 may regulate filament assembly of nonmuscle myosin-II.
