Abstract
⺠Expression of DMPK in the cytosol induces formation of stellar actomyosin stress fibers. ⺠Stellar stress fiber formation is accompanied by augmented phosphorylation of MLC2. ⺠Myoblasts expressing active cytosolic DMPK display altered cell morphology and motility. ⺠Early steps in myogenesis are delayed upon DMPK activity expression in the cytosol. ⺠High cytosolic DMPK activity during myogenesis supports formation of myosacs.
