Myosin plays an important role in mitosis,
especially during cytokinesis. Although it has been assumed that
phosphorylation of regulatory light chain of myosin (RLC) controls
motility of mammalian non-muscle cells, the functional significance of
RLC phosphorylation remains uninvestigated. To address this problem, we
have produced unphosphorylatable RLC (T18A/S19A RLC) and overexpressed it in COS-7 cells and normal rat kidney cells. Overexpression of
T18A/S19A RLC but not wild type RLC almost completely abolished concanavalin A-induced receptor cap formation. The results indicate that myosin phosphorylation is critical for concanavalin A-induced gathering of surface receptors. T18A/S19A RLC overexpression resulted in the production of multinucleated cells, suggesting the failure of
proper cell division in these cells. Video microscopic observation revealed that cells expressing T18A/S19A RLC showed abnormalities during mitosis in two respects. One is that the cells produced abnormal
cleavage furrows, resulting in incomplete cytokinesis, which suggests
that myosin phosphorylation is important for the normal recruitment of
myosin molecules into the contractile ring structure. The other
is that separation of chromosomes from the metaphase plate is disrupted
in T18A/S19A RLC expressing cells, thus preventing proper
transition from metaphase to anaphase. These results suggest that, in
addition to cytokinesis, myosin and myosin phosphorylation play a role
in the karyokinetic process.
