If a Certain Isoform of Myosin II Is Depleted from a Cell

Short Answer

If a certain isoform of myosin II is depleted from a cell, stress fibers are lost and focal adhesions disappear. If these cells are placed on a surface coated with an array of flexible pillars to measure traction forces, would you expect the traction to increase (I) or decrease (D) in these cells compared to wild-type cells? Write down I or D as your answer.
