Myosin II

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    DE-cadherin and Myosin II balance regulates furrow length for onset of polygon shape in syncytial Drosophila embryos
    Bipasha Dey, Richa Rikhy
    Journal of Cell Science 2020 133: jcs240168 doi: 10.1242/jcs.240168 Published 22 May 2020

    Summary: DE-cadherin and Myosin II balance regulates an optimal lateral furrow length for transition of a circular to a polygonal plasma membrane organization in cortical syncytial division cycles in Drosophila embryogenesis.

  • REVIEW
    How the mechanobiome drives cell behavior, viewed through the lens of control theory
    Priyanka Kothari, Cecilia Johnson, Corinne Sandone, Pablo A. Iglesias, Douglas N. Robinson
    Journal of Cell Science 2019 132: jcs234476 doi: 10.1242/jcs.234476 Published 2 September 2019

    Summary: Cells use sophisticated control systems to drive cell behaviors. The mechanobiome senses inputs, establishes and maintains system setpoint and integrates different cellular processes with mechanics to ensure robustness against disturbances.

  • SHORT REPORT
    Colocation of Tpm3.1 and myosin IIa heads defines a discrete subdomain in stress fibres
    Joyce C. M. Meiring, Nicole S. Bryce, Maria Lastra Cagigas, Aleš Benda, Renee M. Whan, Nicholas Ariotti, Robert G. Parton, Jeffrey H. Stear, Edna C. Hardeman, Peter W. Gunning
    Journal of Cell Science 2019 132: jcs228916 doi: 10.1242/jcs.228916 Published 8 August 2019

    Summary: Super-resolution and electron microscopy are used to show that tropomyosin Tpm3.1 is periodically distributed along stress fibres and linked to the organisation of myosin II motors.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Contractility kits promote assembly of the mechanoresponsive cytoskeletal network
    Priyanka Kothari, Vasudha Srivastava, Vasudha Aggarwal, Irina Tchernyshyov, Jennifer E. Van Eyk, Taekjip Ha, Douglas N. Robinson
    Journal of Cell Science 2019 132: jcs226704 doi: 10.1242/jcs.226704 Published 16 January 2019

    Summary: Cytosolic complexes of myosin II, cortexillin I and IQGAPs define the assembly and feedback mechanisms of a mechanoresponsive contractility controller.

  • SHORT REPORT
    Parallel assembly of actin and tropomyosin, but not myosin II, during de novo actin filament formation in live mice
    Andrius Masedunskas, Mark A. Appaduray, Christine A. Lucas, María Lastra Cagigas, Marco Heydecker, Mira Holliday, Joyce C. M. Meiring, Jeff Hook, Anthony Kee, Melissa White, Paul Thomas, Yingfan Zhang, Robert S. Adelstein, Tobias Meckel, Till Böcking, Roberto Weigert, Nicole S. Bryce, Peter W. Gunning, Edna C. Hardeman
    Journal of Cell Science 2018 131: jcs212654 doi: 10.1242/jcs.212654 Published 19 March 2018

    Summary: De novo assembly of functional actin–tropomyosin filaments in live rodents is investigated. Unlike non-muscle myosin II, tropomyosin is added to the actin filament shortly after nucleation.

  • SHORT REPORT
    Steric hindrance in the upper 50 kDa domain of the motor Myo2p leads to cytokinesis defects in fission yeast
    Saravanan Palani, Ramanujam Srinivasan, Paola Zambon, Anton Kamnev, Pananghat Gayathri, Mohan K. Balasubramanian
    Journal of Cell Science 2018 131: jcs205625 doi: 10.1242/jcs.205625 Published 4 January 2018

    Summary: An unbiased genetic screen uncovers a mutation that reverses a steric clash in the myosin II motor head, which was previously reported to cause defective actomyosin ring-dependent cytokinesis in fission yeast.

  • SHORT REPORT
    Myosin II governs collective cell migration behaviour downstream of guidance receptor signalling
    Anne Combedazou, Valérie Choesmel-Cadamuro, Guillaume Gay, Jiaying Liu, Loïc Dupré, Damien Ramel, Xiaobo Wang
    Journal of Cell Science 2017 130: 97-103; doi: 10.1242/jcs.179952

    Summary: Non-muscle myosin II (NMII) is the key regulator for the control of border cell behaviours. Positively regulated by EGFR, NMII induces the switch of border cell movement from linear to rotational.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    TOR complex 2 localises to the cytokinetic actomyosin ring and controls the fidelity of cytokinesis
    Karen Baker, Sara Kirkham, Lenka Halova, Jane Atkin, Mirita Franz-Wachtel, David Cobley, Karsten Krug, Boris Maček, Daniel P. Mulvihill, Janni Petersen
    Journal of Cell Science 2016 129: 2613-2624; doi: 10.1242/jcs.190124

    Highlighted Article: A role for the TOR signalling pathway in regulating cytokinesis is identified. This myosin-dependent mechanism modulates the stability of the S. pombe CapZ complex to regulate actin function.

  • CELL SCIENCE AT A GLANCE
    The contractome – a systems view of actomyosin contractility in non-muscle cells
    Ronen Zaidel-Bar, Guo Zhenhuan, Chen Luxenburg
    Journal of Cell Science 2015 128: 2209-2217; doi: 10.1242/jcs.170068

    Summary: A systematic analysis of the non-muscle myosin II literature reveals the multitude of cellular processes in which contractility plays a role and the complex protein interaction network regulating it.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    A complex of p190RhoGAP-A and anillin modulates RhoA-GTP and the cytokinetic furrow in human cells
    Arkadi Manukyan, Kirsten Ludwig, Sergio Sanchez-Manchinelly, Sarah J. Parsons, P. Todd Stukenberg
    Journal of Cell Science 2015 128: 50-60; doi: 10.1242/jcs.151647
