## Abstract The generation of contractile force mediated by actin‐myosin interactions is essential for cell motility. Myosin activity is promoted by phosphorylation of myosin light chain (MLC). MLC phosphorylation in large part is controlled by kinases that are effectors of Rho family GTPases. Acco
The involvement of tyrosine protein phosphorylation in the regulation of endothelial cell (EC) contraction and barrier function is poorly understood. We have previously shown that myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation catalyzed by a novel 214 kDa EC myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) isoform is a k
Cortical tension in most nonmuscle cells is due largely to force production by conventional myosin (myosin II) assembled into the cytoskeleton. Cytoskeletal contraction in smooth muscle and nonmuscle cells is influenced by the degree of myosin filament assembly, and by activation of myosin motor fun
