Cytokinesis in bloodstream stage Trypanosoma brucei requires a family of katanins and spastin [PDF]
, 2012 Microtubule severing enzymes regulate microtubule dynamics in a wide range of organisms and are implicated in important cell cycle processes such as mitotic spindle assembly and disassembly, chromosome movement and cytokinesis.

Cytokinesis in Eukaryotes [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2002 SUMMARYCytokinesis is the final event of the cell division cycle, and its completion results in irreversible partition of a mother cell into two daughter cells. Cytokinesis was one of the first cell cycle events observed by simple cell biological techniques; however, molecular characterization of cytokinesis has been slowed by its particular resistance

Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2003 SUMMARYWork on two diverse rod-shaped bacteria, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, has defined a set of about 10 conserved proteins that are important for cell division in a wide range of eubacteria. These proteins are directed to the division site by the combination of two negative regulatory systems.

Traffic, 2006 Animal and plant cytokineses appear morphologically distinct. Recent studies, however, have revealed that these cellular processes have many things in common, including the requirement of co‐ordinated membrane trafficking and cytoskeletal dynamics. At the intersection of these two processes are the members of the dynamin family of ubiquitous eukaryotic

Phosphoinositide Function in Cytokinesis [PDF]
Current Biology, 2011 In systems as diverse as yeast, slime mold and animal cells, the levels and distribution of phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs) must be strictly regulated for successful cell cleavage. The precise mechanism by which PIPs function in this process remains unknown.

Developmental Cell, 2002 The central spindle is important for the completion of cytokinesis. Genetic and biochemical approaches have identified a tetrameric complex, made up of a mitotic kinesin-like protein and a Rho-GTPase activating protein, that mediates central spindle assembly.

Genes & Development, 2009 Cytokinesis is the terminal step of the cell cycle during which a mother cell divides into daughter cells. Often, the machinery of cytokinesis is positioned in such a way that daughter cells are born roughly equal in size. However, in many specialized cell types or under certain environmental conditions, the cell division machinery is placed at ...

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 ...

FEBS Letters, 2010 Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division during which the two daughter cells separate completely. Although less well understood than some of the earlier phases of the cell cycle, recent discoveries have shed light on the mechanisms that orchestrate this process, including cleavage furrow formation, midbody maturation and abscission.

Polo-like kinase 4 controls centriole duplication but does not directly regulate cytokinesis. [PDF]
, 2012 Centrioles organize the centrosome, and accurate control of their number is critical for the maintenance of genomic integrity. Centrioles duplicate once per cell cycle, and duplication is coordinated by Polo-like kinase 4 (Plk4).
