Non-muscle myosin II drives critical steps of nematocyst morphogenesis

Summary: Nematocysts are generated by secretion of proteins into a post-Golgi compartment. They consist of a capsule that elongates into a long tube, which is coiled inside the capsule matrix and expelled during its nano-second discharge deployed for prey capture.
