| Research Abstract |
It is known that myosin II is hyperphosphorylated in apoptotic cells. However, the regulation of myosin phosphatase (MP) in apoptosis is still unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that the activity of MP is reduced by caspae-3 mediated cleavage of myosin binding subunit. This result suggests that hyperphosphorylation of myosin II is induced by activation of myosin kinase and inactivation of MP during apoptosis.
