Comment
The enzyme from Dictyostelium sp. (slime moulds) brings about phosphorylation of the heavy chains of Dictyostelium myosin, inhibiting the actin-activated ATPase activity of the myosin. One threonine residue in each heavy chain acts as acceptor. While the enzyme from some species is activated by actin, in other cases Ca2+/calmodulin are required for activity.
