Anillin propels myosin-independent constriction of actin rings
Nature Communications, 2021 Cytokinetic ring constriction during cell division requires actin but curiously is independent of myosin in many organisms. Here, the authors show that anillin, a protein enriched in the contractile ring, is a non-motor actin crosslinker that generates ...

The integrity of the cytokinesis machinery under stress conditions requires the glucan synthase Bgs1p and its regulator Cfh3p. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In yeast, cytokinesis requires coordination between nuclear division, acto-myosin ring contraction, and septum synthesis. We studied the role of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Bgs1p and Cfh3p proteins during cytokinesis under stress conditions.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Cytokinesis is the last step of cell division that physically partitions the mother cell into two daughter cells. Cytokinesis requires the assembly and constriction of a contractile ring, a circumferential array of filamentous actin (F-actin), non-muscle

Inhibition of polar actin assembly by astral microtubules is required for cytokinesis
Nature Communications, 2021 During cell division, the actin cytoskeletal network at both the equatorial contractile ring and cell cortex are known to play a role, but the regulation of γ-actin during cytokinesis is less well understood.

The Journal of Cell Biology, 1972 The first cleavage furrow in eggs of Arbacia (sea urchin) is accompanied by a uniform ring of aligned microfilaments, called the contractile ring. Individual contractile ring filaments measure 35–60 A and occasionally appear "hollow." The contractile ring exists from about 20 sec after anaphase to the end of furrowing activity, i.e., 6–7 min at 20°C ...

PLoS Genetics, 2020 The requirements for oocyte meiotic cytokinesis during polar body extrusion are not well understood. In particular, the relationship between the oocyte meiotic spindle and polar body contractile ring dynamics remains largely unknown.

Network Contractility during Cytokinesis—From Molecular to Global Views
Biomolecules, 2019 Cytokinesis is the last stage of cell division, which partitions the mother cell into two daughter cells. It requires the assembly and constriction of a contractile ring that consists of a filamentous contractile network of actin and myosin.

Encapsulated actomyosin patterns drive cell-like membrane shape changes
iScience, 2022 Summary: Cell shape changes from locomotion to cytokinesis are, to a large extent, driven by myosin-driven remodeling of cortical actin patterns.

BMC Molecular and Cell Biology, 2019 Background The conserved NDR-family kinase Sid2p localizes to the contractile ring during fission yeast cytokinesis to promote ring constriction, septation, and completion of cell division.
