Dynamic myosin phosphorylation regulates contractile pulses and tissue integrity during epithelial morphogenesis
Apical constriction is a cell shape change that promotes epithelial bending. Activation of nonmuscle myosin II (Myo-II) by kinases such as Rho-associated kinase (Rok) is important to generate contractile force during apical constriction. Cycles of Myo-II assembly and disassembly, or pulses, are asso...
