## Abstract The generation of contractile force mediated by actinβmyosin 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

## Abstract Regulation of the contractile force is crucial for cell migration, cell proliferation, and maintenance of cell morphology. Phosphorylation of the myosin II regulatory light chain (MRLC) is involved in these processes. To show whether the diphosphorylation of MRLC increases the tension a
## Abstract The Ca^2+^ activation mechanism of the longitudinal body wall muscles of __Parastichopus californicus__ (sea cucumber) was studied using skinned muscle fiber bundles. Reversible phosphorylation of the myosin light chains correlated with Ca^2+^βactivated tension and relaxation. Pretreatm
The sliding movement of an actin "lament generated by myosin heads with MgGTP bound is much slower than that by those with MgATP bound. Nonetheless, there is a report that the actin sliding velocity at low (11}21 M) MgATP concentrations is increased by the addition of MgGTP in a range of 1}3 mM, alt
## Abstract The __nm23βH1__ gene is known as a potential metastasis suppressor gene in various types of carcinomas. However, the role of __nm23βH1__ in colorectal carcinoma still remains controversial and the cellular mechanisms by which its protein may modulate the metastatic phenotype are not yet
