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 ...

Septins: molecular partitioning and the generation of cellular asymmetry
Cell Division, 2009 During division, certain cellular contents can be distributed unequally; daughter cells with different fates have different needs. Septins are proteins that participate in the establishment and maintenance of asymmetry during cell morphogenesis, thereby ...

Treadmilling by FtsZ filaments drives peptidoglycan synthesis and bacterial cell division
Science, 2016 Coordinating cell wall synthesis and cell division Most bacteria are protected by peptidoglycan cell walls, which must be remodeled to split the cell. Cell division requires the tubulin homolog FtsZ, a highly conserved cytoskeletal polymer that specifies

CRY arrests Cop1 to regulate circadian rhythms in mammals
Cell Division, 2019 Cryptochromes (CRYs) are UVA and blue light photoreceptors present in all major evolutionary lineages ranging from cyanobacteria to plants and animals, including mammals. In plants, blue light activates CRYs to induce photomorphogenesis by inhibiting the

PDE models of adder mechanisms in cellular proliferation [PDF]
, 2020 Cell division is a process that involves many biochemical steps and complex biophysical mechanisms. To simplify the understanding of what triggers cell division, three basic models that subsume more microscopic cellular processes associated with cell ...

Cell division plane orientation based on tensile stress in Arabidopsis thaliana
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2016 Significance The control of cell division plane orientation is crucial in biology and most particularly in plants, in which cells cannot rearrange their positions, as they are glued to each other by their cell walls.

Measuring DNA content in live cells by fluorescence microscopy
Cell Division, 2018 Background Live-cell fluorescence microscopy (LCFM) is a powerful tool used to investigate cellular dynamics in real time. However, the capacity to simultaneously measure DNA content in cells being tracked over time remains challenged by dye-associated ...

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 ...
