An acto-myosin II constricting ring initiates the fission of activity-dependent bulk endosomes in neurosecretory cells. [PDF]
J Neurosci, 2015 Activity-dependent bulk endocytosis allows neurons to internalize large portions of the plasma membrane in response to stimulation. However, whether this critical type of compensatory endocytosis is unique to neurons or also occurs in other excitable ...

Genomic and Transcriptomic Analyses Revealed DdSTE2 Play a Role in Constricting Ring Formation in the Nematode-Trapping Fungi Drechslerella dactyloides [PDF]
MicroorganismsThe carnivorous fungus Drechslerella dactyloides can form constricting rings through hyphal specialization to capture nematodes. The formation of constricting rings is a prerequisite for capturing nematodes and a characteristic of entering the ...

Architecture of the ring formed by the tubulin homologue FtsZ in bacterial cell division
eLife, 2014 Membrane constriction is a prerequisite for cell division. The most common membrane constriction system in prokaryotes is based on the tubulin homologue FtsZ, whose filaments in E. coli are anchored to the membrane by FtsA and enable the formation of the

The Min system and other nucleoid-independent regulators of Z ring positioning
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Rod-shaped bacteria such as E. coli have mechanisms to position their cell division plane at the precise center of the cell, to ensure that the daughter cells are equal in size. The two main mechanisms are the Min system and nucleoid occlusion (NO), both

Penile Strangulation: A Novel Surgical Procedure without Cutting Equipment [PDF]
Urogenital Tract Infection, 2020 Strangulation of the penis is a rare condition that usually results from the placement of various constricting devices to enhance sexual stimulation. Such a condition requires emergency treatment to prevent penile ischemia, necrosis, urethral injury, and
