|a The actomyosin cytoskeleton is responsible for many changes in cell and tissue shape. For a long time, the actomyosin cytoskeleton has been known to exhibit dynamic contractile behavior. Recently, discrete actomyosin assembly/disassembly cycles have also been observed in cells. These so-called actomyosin pulses have been observed in a variety of contexts, including cell polarization and division, and in epithelia, where they occur during tissue contraction, folding, and extension. In epithelia, evidence suggests that actomyosin pulsing, and more generally, actomyosin turnover, is required to maintain tissue integrity during contractile processes. This review explores possible functions for pulsing in the many instances during which pulsing has been observed, and also highlights proposed molecular mechanisms that drive pulsing.
