Figure 1. Myosin II localization is guided by mechanical stress.

Figure 1

A. Myosin II is enriched at the cleavage furrow of a dividing cell and at the aspirated tip during micropipette aspiration (MPA). B. Myosin II enrichment during MPA depends on the applied pressure. Anaphase Dictyostelium cells are more mechanoresponsive than interphase cells. C. Myosin II and cortexillin I show cooperative accumulation kinetics during MPA (Reproduced from Luo et al. 2012 [38] with permission from Elsevier).
