Cell growth dilutes the cell cycle inhibitor Rb to trigger cell division
Science, 2020 A cell size sensor Efforts continue to uncover the long-sought mechanism by which cells coordinate growth and cell division to maintain a constant size. Zatulovskiy et al.

Bacterial cell division at a glance
Journal of Cell Science, 2020 Bacterial cell division is initiated by the midcell assembly of polymers of the tubulin-like GTPase FtsZ. The FtsZ ring (Z-ring) is a discontinuous structure made of dynamic patches of FtsZ that undergo treadmilling motion.

Mechanical stretch triggers rapid epithelial cell division through Piezo1
Nature, 2017 Despite acting as a barrier for the organs they encase, epithelial cells turn over at some of the fastest rates in the body. However, epithelial cell division must be tightly linked to cell death to preserve barrier function and prevent tumour formation.

Afadin orients cell division to position the tubule lumen in developing renal tubules [PDF]
, 2017 In many types of tubules, continuity of the lumen is paramount to tubular function, yet how tubules generate lumen continuity in vivo is not known. We recently found the F-actin binding protein Afadin is required for lumen continuity in developing renal ...

Kinesin-5 Eg5 is essential for spindle assembly and chromosome alignment of mouse spermatocytes
Cell Division, 2020 Background Microtubule organization is essential for bipolar spindle assembly and chromosome segregation, which contribute to genome stability. Kinesin-5 Eg5 is known to be a crucial regulator in centrosome separation and spindle assembly in mammalian ...

A model of membrane contraction predicting initiation and completion of bacterial cell division [PDF]
, 2013 Bacterial cell division involves a complex and dynamic sequence of events whereby polymers of the protein FtsZ assemble at the division plane and rearrange to achieve the goal of contracting the cell membrane at the site of cell division, thus dividing ...

Protein Amounts of the MYC Transcription Factor Determine Germinal Center B Cell Division Capacity.
Immunity, 2019 High-affinity B cell selection in the germinal center (GC) is governed by signals delivered by follicular helper T (Tfh) cells to B cells. Selected B cells undergo clonal expansion and affinity maturation in the GC dark zone in direct proportion to the ...

Protein arginine methylation: an emerging regulator of the cell cycle
Cell Division, 2018 Protein arginine methylation is a common post-translational modification where a methyl group is added onto arginine residues of a protein to alter detection by its binding partners or regulate its activity.

"Cullin 4 makes its mark on chromatin"
Cell Division, 2006 Cullin 4 (Cul4), a member of the evolutionally conserved cullin protein family, serves as a scaffold to assemble multisubunit ubiquitin E3 ligase complexes.
