... with fluorescent proteins to establish the temporal and spatial pathway for the assembly and constriction of the contractile ring. We combined biochemical analysis of purified proteins (myosin-II, profilin, formin Cdc12p and cofilin), observations of fluorescent fusion proteins in live cells and mathematical...

... 2008 contractile ring cytokinesis midbody ring Rho septin Cytokinesis involves sophisticated interplay between membranes, microtubules and the actin cytoskeleton [ 1 – 3 ]. It begins in anaphase, when the spindle specifies the cell equator, the location where an F-actin- and myosin II...
