Developmental Cell, 2006 Temporal and spatial coordination of cytokinesis with chromosome segregation is key for successful cell division, but it is poorly understood. A recent article in Science by Pellman and coworkers (Yoshida et. al., 2006) reveals how the yeast polo-like kinase Cdc5 triggers Rho1/RhoA activation and the assembly of the contractile actin ring during ...

Identification of novel chondroitin proteoglycans in Caenorhabditis elegans: embryonic cell division depends on CPG-1 and CPG-2. [PDF]
, 2006 Vertebrates produce multiple chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans that play important roles in development and tissue mechanics. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the chondroitin chains lack sulfate but nevertheless play essential roles in embryonic ...

Understanding Cytokinesis Failure [PDF]
, 2010 Cytokinesis is the final step in cell division. The process begins during chromosome segregation, when the ingressing cleavage furrow begins to partition the cytoplasm between the nascent daughter cells. The process is not completed until much later, however, when the final cytoplasmic bridge connecting the two daughter cells is severed. Cytokinesis is

Polyploid superficial cells that maintain the urothelial barrier are produced via incomplete cytokinesis and endoreplication [PDF]
, 2018 Summary: The urothelium is an epithelia barrier lined by a luminal layer of binucleated, octoploid, superficial cells. Superficial cells are critical for production and transport of uroplakins, a family of proteins that assemble into a waterproof ...

ESCRT-III mediated cell division in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius - a reconstitution perspective [PDF]
, 2014 In the framework of synthetic biology, it has become an intriguing question what would be the minimal representation of cell division machinery. Thus, it seems appropriate to compare how cell division is realized in different microorganisms. Inparticular,

Current Biology, 2009 The central spindle regulates cleavage furrow formation and cytokinesis and is composed of antiparallel microtubules bundled by microtubule-associated proteins and kinesin motors. One key protein in the central spindle is a Rho family GTPase-activating protein, CYK-4/MgcRacGAP, whose target is the subject of two new studies that arrive at divergent ...

TPLATE recruitment reveals endocytic dynamics at sites of symbiotic interface assembly in arbuscular mycorrhizal interactions [PDF]
, 2019 Introduction: Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis between soil fungi and the majority of plants is based on a mutualistic exchange of organic and inorganic nutrients.

The distribution of cytoplasmic microtubules throughout the cell cycle of the centric diatom Stephanopyxis turris: their role in nuclear migration and positioning the mitotic spindle during cytokinesis. [PDF]
, 1986 The cell cycle of the marine centric diatom Stephanopyxis turris consists of a series of spatially and temporally well-ordered events. We have used immunofluorescence microscopy to examine the role of cytoplasmic microtubules in these events.

Abnormal early cleavage events predict early embryo demise: sperm oxidative stress and early abnormal cleavage. [PDF]
, 2014 Human embryos resulting from abnormal early cleavage can result in aneuploidy and failure to develop normally to the blastocyst stage. The nature of paternal influence on early embryo development has not been directly demonstrated although many studies ...

Cytoskeleton, 2012 AbstractCytokinesis is a crucial step in the cell division cycle whereby the cell membrane and underlying cortex is remodelled and drawn together to create two new daughter cells. While in many eukaryotic systems this process is accomplished by an actomyosin contractile ring, the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei displays an unusual mechanism for ...
