Activation of Acanthamoeba myosin IC by phosphorylation of its heavy chain by PAK1

Kinase Mg2+-ATPase activity, s−1
− actin + actin
None 0.5 1.3
PAK1 0.5 7.5
35K 0.5 8.5

Myosin IC was incubated in the presence of ATP either alone or with PAK1 or 35K for 30 min at 30°C. The Mg2+-ATPase activity of the myosin was then measured in the absence or presence of 90 μM F-actin, as described in more detail in text.
