Actin depolymerization drives actomyosin ring contraction during budding yeast cytokinesis.
Actin filaments and myosin II are evolutionarily conserved force-generating components of the contractile ring during cytokinesis. Here we show that in budding yeast, actin filament depolymerization plays a major role in actomyosin ring constriction. Cofilin mutation or chemically stabilizing actin filaments attenuate actomyosin ring constriction. Deletion of myosin II motor domain or the myosi...
متن کاملRing closure of carbon nanotubes.
Lightly etched single-walled carbon nanotubes are chemically reacted to form rings. The rings appear to be fully closed as opposed to open coils, as ring-opening reactions did not change the structure of the observed rings. The average diameter of the rings was 540 nanometers with a narrow size distribution. The nanotubes in solution were modeled as wormlike polymer chains, yielding a persisten...
متن کاملGap solitons on a ring.
We introduce a new species of gap solitons (GSs) supported by an azimuthally modulated guiding ring in defocusing cubic media. The periodicity in the azimuthal direction strongly modifies properties and existence domains of GSs. In addition to the fundamental solitons, we report even and twisted bound states. The former type is found to be stable, while the twisted states are always unstable in...
متن کاملAnterior segment imaging in angle-closure disease
Introduction Angle-closure disease (both primary and secondary) is a spectrum of disorders characterized by iridotrabecular contact obstructing aqueous outflow. Anterior segment imaging plays an important role in understanding the pathophysiology of angle closure, diagnosis, and monitoring the treatment, especially in challenging cases. Indirect gonioscopy, the gold standard for visualizing the...
متن کاملActin turnover maintains actin filament homeostasis during cytokinetic ring contraction
Cytokinesis in many eukaryotes involves a tension-generating actomyosin-based contractile ring. Many components of actomyosin rings turn over during contraction, although the significance of this turnover has remained enigmatic. Here, using Schizosaccharomyces japonicus, we investigate the role of turnover of actin and myosin II in its contraction. Actomyosin ring components self-organize into ...
