Cytokinesis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe requires the function of Cdc15, the founding
member of the pombe cdc15 homology (PCH) family of proteins. As an early, abundant …

Mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades have been implicated in regulating
various aspects of plant development, including somatic cytokinesis. The evolution of …

During cell division, chromosome segregation must be coordinated with cell cleavage so
that cytokinesis occurs after chromosomes have been safely distributed to each spindle …

In the binucleate parasite Giardia intestinalis, two diploid nuclei and essential cytoskeletal
structures including eight flagella are duplicated and partitioned into two daughter cells …

The small GTP-binding protein, Rho1/RhoA plays a central role in cytokinetic actomyosin
ring (CAR) assembly and cytokinesis. Concentration of Rho proteins at the division site is a …

Schizosaccharomyces pombe contains four putative (1, 3) β-D-glucan synthase (GS)
catalytic subunits, Bgs1p-4p. In this work, we cloned bgs4+ and show that Bgs4p is the only …

The actomyosin contractile ring assembles through the condensation of a broad band of
nodes that forms at the cell equator in fission yeast cytokinesis. The condensation process …

Cytokinesis partitions the cytoplasm of a dividing cell. Unlike yeast and animal cells, which
form cleavage furrows from the plasma membrane, cells in higher plants make a new …

Cytokinesis in animal and fungal cells utilizes a contractile actomyosin ring (AMR). However,
how myosin II is targeted to the division site and promotes AMR assembly, and how the AMR …

Cytokinesis is a crucial event in the cell cycle of all living cells. In fungal cells, it requires co‐
ordinated contraction of an actomyosin ring and synthesis of both plasmatic membrane and …
