Astral Signals Spatially Bias Cortical Myosin Recruitment to Break Symmetry and Promote Cytokinesis [PDF]
, 2007 SummaryBackgroundAfter anaphase, the segregated chromosomes are sequestered by cytokinesis into two separate daughter cells by a cleavage furrow formed by the actomyosin-based contractile ring.

BMC Cell Biology, 2002 Background Cortical myosin-II filaments in Dictyostelium discoideum display enrichment in the posterior of the cell during cell migration and in the cleavage furrow during cytokinesis. Filament assembly in turn is regulated by phosphorylation in the tail

Effects of wounds in the cell membrane on cell division
Scientific Reports, 2023 Cells are consistently subjected to wounding by physical or chemical damages from the external environment. We previously showed that a local wound of the cell membrane modulates the polarity of cell migration and the wounded cells escape from the wound ...

Drosophila F-BAR protein Syndapin contributes to coupling the plasma membrane and contractile ring in cytokinesis [PDF]
Open Biology, 2013 Cytokinesis is a highly ordered cellular process driven by interactions between central spindle microtubules and the actomyosin contractile ring linked to the dynamic remodelling of the plasma membrane.

Anillin forms linear structures and facilitates furrow ingression after septin and formin depletion
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: During cytokinesis, a contractile ring consisting of unbranched filamentous actin (F-actin) and myosin II constricts at the cell equator. Unbranched F-actin is generated by formin, and without formin no cleavage furrow forms.

Live cell interferometry quantifies dynamics of biomass partitioning during cytokinesis.
PLoS ONE, 2014 The equal partitioning of cell mass between daughters is the usual and expected outcome of cytokinesis for self-renewing cells. However, most studies of partitioning during cell division have focused on daughter cell shape symmetry or segregation of ...

Dynamics of Myosin II Filaments during Wound Repair in Dividing Cells
Cells, 2021 Wound repair of cell membranes is essential for cell survival. Myosin II contributes to wound pore closure by interacting with actin filaments in larger cells; however, its role in smaller cells is unclear.

Syntaxin 16 is a master recruitment factor for cytokinesis [PDF]
, 2013 Recently it was shown that both recycling endosome and endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) components are required for cytokinesis, in which they are believed to act in a sequential manner to bring about secondary ingression and ...
