Dictyostelium myosin bipolar thick filament formation: importance of charge and specific domains of the myosin rod.

Myosin-II thick filament formation in Dictyostelium is an excellent system for investigating the phenomenon of self-assembly, as the myosin molecule itself contains all the information required to form a structure of defined size. Phosphorylation of only three threonine residues can dramatically cha...
