No full textWe show here for the first time that the pro-apoptotic protein Par-4 binds to and activates myosin phosphatase (MP). During agonist stimulation, Par-4 facilitates ZIPK targeting and inhibitory phosphorylation of MP, however, phosphorylation of Par-4 is required for MP inhibition. Our model presents Par-4 as an amplifier of the MP activity range
