Unleashing mesenchymal chemotaxis
Abstract
In this issue of Developmental Cell, Asokan and colleagues (2014) report that the phospholipase Cγ (PLCγ)-diacyl glycerol (DAG) protein kinase Cα (PKCα) signaling axis inhibits actomyosin bundling. This preferentially occurs at the leading edge of chemotactic mesenchymal cells via noncanonical phosphorylation of the regulatory light chain (RLC) of nonmuscle myosin II.
