To better understand the mechanism controlling nonmuscle myosin II (NM-II) assembly in mammalian cells, mutant NM-IIA constructs were created to allow tests in live cells of two widely studied models for filament assembly control. A GFP-NM-IIA construct lacking the RLC binding domain (Delta IQ2) destabilizes the 10S sequestered monomer state and results in a severe defect in recycling monomers during spreading, and from the posterior to the leading edge during polarized migration. A GFP-NM-IIA construct lacking the nonhelical tailpiece (Delta tailpiece) is competent for leading edge assembly, but overassembles, suggesting defects in disassembly from lamellae subsequent to initial recruitment. The Delta tailpiece phenotype was recapitulated by a GFP-NM-IIA construct carrying a mutation in a mapped tailpiece phosphorylation site (S1943A), validating the importance of the tailpiece and tailpiece phosphorylation in normal lamellar myosin II assembly control. These results demonstrate that both the 6S/10S conformational change and the tailpiece contribute to the localization and assembly of myosin II in mammalian cells. This work furthermore offers cellular insights that help explain platelet and leukocyte defects associated with R1933-stop alleles of patients afflicted with human MYH9-related disorder.
