Differential effect of actomyosin relaxation on the dynamic properties of focal adhesion proteins.

Differential effect of actomyosin relaxation on the dynamic properties of focal adhesion proteins.

Treatment of cultured cells with inhibitors of actomyosin contractility induces rapid deterioration of stress fibers, and disassembly of the associated focal adhesions (FAs). In this study, we show that treatment with the Rho kinase inhibitor Y-27632, which blocks actomyosin contractility, induces d...
