## 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

During the crawling movements of non-muscle cells, myosin II-containing structures assemble and disassemble with a high degree of spatial and temporal heterogeneity. In order to understand how this is controlled, we examined factors that influence the association of myosin II with detergent-resistan
To elucidate the role of phosphorylation in regulation of intracellular distribution of myosin II, we have characterized mutant Dictyostelium cells expressing myosin II that could not be regulated by the phosphorylation on the mapped heavy chain sites, the light chain site, or both sites.

## 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
