The role of myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) in inducing podosomes was examined by confocal and electron microscopy. Removal of myosin from the actin core of podosomes using blebbistatin, a myosin inhibitor, resulted in the formation of smaller podosomes. Downregulation of MLCK by the transfection o...
