Centrosomes: CNN's Broadcast Reaches the Cleavage Furrow
نویسنده
چکیده
Centrosomin (CNN), a core Drosophila centrosome protein, interacts with the newly identified protein Centrocortin to promote cleavage furrow formation in the early embryo. Significantly, this activity is distinct from CNN's well-established role in centrosome-based microtubule organization.

Centrocortin Cooperates with Centrosomin to Organize Drosophila Embryonic Cleavage Furrows
In the Drosophila early embryo, the centrosome coordinates assembly of cleavage furrows. Currently, the molecular pathway that links the centrosome and the cortical microfilaments is unknown. In centrosomin (cnn) mutants, in which the centriole forms but the centrosome pericentriolar material (PCM) fails to assemble, actin microfilaments are not organized into furrows at the syncytial cortex [6...
متن کاملUnusual cleavage furrows in vertebrate tissue culture cells: insights into the mechanisms of cytokinesis.
In cultures of the epithelial cell lines, PtK2 and LLC-PK, some cells assume unusually large flattened morphologies and, during cell division, produce unusual cleavage furrows. We have microinjected some of these large cells with fluorescent actin and myosin probes to determine how the cell's shape and the position of its mitotic spindle affect the deposition of actin and myosin in the forming ...
متن کاملMechanisms regulating targeting of recycling endosomes to the cleavage furrow during cytokinesis.
Recently, recycling endosomes have emerged as a key components required for the successful completion of cytokinesis. Furthermore, FIP3 (family of Rab11-interacting protein 3), a Rab11 GTPase-binding protein, has been implicated in targeting the recycling endosomes to the midbody of dividing cells. Previously, we have shown that FIP3/Rab11-containing endosomes associate with centrosomes until a...
متن کاملFocal adhesions control cleavage furrow shape and spindle tilt during mitosis
The geometry of the cleavage furrow during mitosis is often asymmetric in vivo and plays a critical role in stem cell differentiation and the relative positioning of daughter cells during development. Early observations of adhesive cell lines revealed asymmetry in the shape of the cleavage furrow, where the bottom (i.e., substrate attached side) of the cleavage furrow ingressed less than the to...
متن کاملFunction and dynamics of slam in furrow formation in early Drosophila embryo.
The Drosophila embryo undergoes a developmental transition in the blastoderm stage switching from syncytial to cellular development. The cleavage furrow, which encloses nuclei into cells, is a prominent morphological feature of this transition. It is not clear how the pattern of the furrow array is defined and how zygotic genes trigger the formation and invagination of interphase furrows. A key...
