Regulation of polarised growth in fungi [PDF]
Polarised growth in fungi occurs through the delivery of secretory vesicles along tracks formed by cytoskeletal elements to specific sites on the cell surface where they dock with a multiprotein structure called the exocyst before fusing with the ...

Cell Division Protein FtsZ Is Unfolded for N-Terminal Degradation by Antibiotic-Activated ClpP
Antibiotic acyldepsipeptides (ADEPs) deregulate ClpP, the proteolytic core of the bacterial Clp protease, thereby inhibiting its native functions and concomitantly activating it for uncontrolled proteolysis of nonnative substrates.

The transformation of a single fertilised egg into an adult human consisting of tens of trillions of highly diverse cell types is a marvel of biology. The expansion is largely achieved by cell duplication through the process of mitosis.

Polo-like kinase in trypanosomes: an odd member out of the Polo family [PDF]
Polo-like kinases (Plks) are evolutionarily conserved serine/threonine protein kinases playing crucial roles during multiple stages of mitosis and cytokinesis in yeast and animals.

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.

Polyploid superficial cells that maintain the urothelial barrier are produced via incomplete cytokinesis and endoreplication [PDF]
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 ...

Cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic mechanisms promote cell-type-specific cytokinetic diversity
Cytokinesis, the physical division of one cell into two, is powered by constriction of an actomyosin contractile ring. It has long been assumed that all animal cells divide by a similar molecular mechanism, but growing evidence suggests that cytokinetic ...

Live Imaging and Analysis of Meiotic Cytokinesis in Drosophila Testes
All living organisms require the division of a cell into daughter cells for their growth and maintenance. During cell division, both genetic and cytoplasmic contents are equally distributed between the two daughter cells.

Architecture of the ring formed by the tubulin homologue FtsZ in bacterial cell division
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

An ATM-CHK2-INCENP pathway prevents chromatin breakage by regulating the abscission checkpoint
In response to chromatin bridges, the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) delays completion of cytokinesis (abscission) to prevent chromosome breakage.
