Polar relaxation by dynein-mediated removal of cortical myosin II [PDF]
, 2020 Nearly 6 decades ago, Lewis Wolpert proposed the relaxation of the polar cell cortex by the radial arrays of astral microtubules as a mechanism for cleavage furrow induction (White and Borisy, 1983; Wolpert, 1960).

Rab1 interacts with GOLPH3 and controls Golgi structure and contractile ring constriction during cytokinesis in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Open Biology, 2017 Cytokinesis requires a tight coordination between actomyosin ring constriction and new membrane addition along the ingressing cleavage furrow. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying vesicle trafficking to the equatorial site and how this process is

Myosin-1 inhibition by PClP affects membrane shape, cortical actin distribution and lipid droplet dynamics in early Zebrafish embryos. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Myosin-1 (Myo1) represents a mechanical link between the membrane and actin-cytoskeleton in animal cells. We have studied the effect of Myo1 inhibitor PClP in 1-8 cell Zebrafish embryos.

Cytokinesis mediated through the recruitment of cortexillins into the cleavage furrow [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 1999 The fact that substrate-anchored Dictyostelium cells undergo cytokinesis in the absence of myosin II underscores the importance of other proteins in enabling the cleavage furrow to constrict. Cortexillins, a pair of actin-bundling proteins, are required for normal cleavage.

Cytokinesis D is Mediated by Cortical Flow of Dividing Cells Instead of Chemotaxis
Cells, 2019 Cytokinesis D is known as the midwife mechanism in which neighboring cells facilitate cell division by crossing the cleavage furrow of dividing cells.

eLife, 2021 Actomyosin contractility is regulated by Rho-GTP in cell migration, cytokinesis and morphogenesis in embryo development. Whereas Rho activation by Rho-GTP exchange factor (GEF), RhoGEF2, is well known in actomyosin contractility during cytokinesis at the

A permeabilized cell model for studying cell division: a comparison of anaphase chromosome movement and cleavage furrow constriction in lysed PtK1 cells. [PDF]
, 1981 After lysis in a Brij 58-polyethylene glycol medium, PtK1 cells are permeable to small molecules, such as erythrosin B, and to proteins, such as rhodamine-labeled FAB, myosin subfragment-1, and tubulin.

Specific accumulation of Rho-associated kinase at the cleavage furrow during cytokinesis: cleavage furrow-specific phosphorylation of intermediate filaments [PDF]
Oncogene, 1999 The small GTPase Rho and one of its targets, Rho-associated kinase (Rho-kinase), are implicated in a wide spectrum of cellular functions, including cytoskeletal rearrangements, transcriptional activation and smooth muscle contraction. Since Rho also plays an essential role in cytokinesis, Rho-kinase may possibly mediate some biological aspects of ...
