The RhoGAP activity of CYK-4/MgcRacGAP functions non-canonically by promoting RhoA activation during cytokinesis
Cytokinesis requires activation of the GTPase RhoA. ECT-2, the exchange factor responsible for RhoA activation, is regulated to ensure spatiotemporal control of contractile ring assembly. Centralspindlin, composed of the Rho family GTPase-activating protein (RhoGAP) MgcRacGAP/CYK-4 and the kinesin MKLP1/ZEN-4, is known to activate ECT-2, but the underlying mechanism is not understood. We report...
متن کاملCorrigendum: p120-catenin prevents multinucleation through control of MKLP1-dependent RhoA activity during cytokinesis
Spatiotemporal activation of RhoA and actomyosin contraction underpins cellular adhesion and division. Loss of cell-cell adhesion and chromosomal instability are cardinal events that drive tumour progression. Here, we show that p120-catenin (p120) not only controls cell-cell adhesion, but also acts as a critical regulator of cytokinesis. We find that p120 regulates actomyosin contractility thro...
متن کاملRegulation of the polo kinase during cytokinesis
Mitosis and cytokinesis allow faithful distribution of the duplicated genetic material from one mother to two daughter cells. These cell cycle events are regulated precisely by several kinase families including Cyclindependent kinases (CDKs), Aurora kinases and Pololike kinases (Plks). Interestingly, these proteins are able to collaborate with each other during cell division and defects in thei...
متن کاملSpatial regulation of Cdc42 during cytokinesis.
Cdc42 GTPase plays a critical role in the establishment of cell polarity in most eukaryotic organisms. Cdc42 active state, as that of other GTPases, depends on the bound nucleotide. The protein with GTP is active, and only in this state can it interact with different target effector proteins. The spatio-temporal control of Cdc42 activity is therefore necessary to generate growth polarity. In fi...
متن کاملMidbody assembly and its regulation during cytokinesis
The midbody is a transient structure that connects two daughter cells at the end of cytokinesis, with the principal function being to localize the site of abscission, which physically separates two daughter cells. Despite its importance, understanding of midbody assembly and its regulation is still limited. Here we describe how the structural composition of the midbody changes during progressio...
