Dissecting the cytoskeletal interaction during cytokinesis and the role of myosin II motors on homologous chromosomes

Creator:

Tseng, Kuo-Fu

Abstract:

Prior to cell cleavage, cytokinetic proteins are recruited into the nascent actomyosin contractile ring. Interactions between spindle microtubules and the cell cortex play a critical role in this recruitment. However, direct evidence for physical interaction between microtubules and the cortex has been lacking. Here we reveal the physical connection between...
