Cytokinesis in animal cells requires the assembly and constriction of a contractile
actomyosin ring. Non-muscle myosin II is essential for cytokinesis, but the role of its motor …

Nearly five decades of research have established myosin as the main motor responsible for
cytokinesis in organisms on the branch of the phylogenetic tree that includes amoebas, fungi …

Myosin‐II is required for the assembly and constriction of cytokinetic contractile rings in fungi
and animals. We used electron microscopy, fluorescence recovery after photobleaching …

Cytokinesis in animal cells requires the assembly of a contractile actomyosin ring, whose
subsequent constriction physically separates the two daughter cells. Non-muscle myosin II …

Myosins are a superfamily of motor proteins involved in many cell events including
cytokinesis. Many myosin classes are expressed in a single organism, suggesting function …
