Active Ran regulates anillin function during cytokinesis
Cytokinesis cleaves a cell into two daughters at the end of mitosis, and must be spatially coordinated with chromosome segregation to prevent aneuploidy. The dogma is that the mitotic spindle governs the assembly and constriction of an actomyosin ring. Here, we reveal a function for active Ran in spatially restricting the ring. Our model is that during anaphase, "free" importins, whose gradient...
متن کاملRho-dependent control of anillin behavior during cytokinesis
Anillin is a conserved protein required for cytokinesis but its molecular function is unclear. Anillin accumulation at the cleavage furrow is Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF)(Pbl)-dependent but may also be mediated by known anillin interactions with F-actin and myosin II, which are under RhoGEF(Pbl)-dependent control themselves. Microscopy of Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells reveal ...
متن کاملCindr Interacts with Anillin to Control Cytokinesis in Drosophila melanogaster
Cytokinesis, the final step of cell division, conventionally proceeds to cell separation by abscission, or complete cytokinesis, but may in certain tissues be incomplete, yielding daughter cells that are interconnected in syncytia by stable intercellular bridges. The mechanisms that determine complete versus incomplete cytokinesis are not known. Here we report a novel in vivo role of the Drosop...
متن کاملKIF4 Regulates Midzone Length during Cytokinesis
BACKGROUND Midzones, also called central spindles, are an array of antiparallel microtubules that form during cytokinesis between the separated chromosomes. Midzones can be considered to be platforms that recruit specific proteins and orchestrate cytokinetic events, such as sister nuclei being kept apart, furrow ingression, and abscission. Despite this important role, many aspects of midzone bi...
متن کاملRho and Anillin-dependent Control of mDia2 Localization and Function in Cytokinesis
Diaphanous-related formin, mDia, is an actin nucleation/polymerization factor functioning downstream of the small GTPase Rho. Although Rho is critically involved in cytokinesis, it remains elusive how Rho effectors and other regulators of cytoskeletons work together to accomplish this process. Here we focused on mDia2, an mDia isoform involved in cytokinesis of NIH 3T3 cells, and analyzed mecha...
