Cytokinesis mechanics and mechanosensing.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cytokinesis shape change occurs through the interfacing of three modules, cell mechanics, myosin II-mediated contractile stress generation and sensing, and a control system of regulatory proteins, which together ensure flexibility and robustness. This integrated system then defines the stereotypical shape changes of successful cytokinesis, which occurs under a diversity of mechanical contexts and environmental conditions.

BACKGROUND Mechanosensing governs many processes from molecular to organismal levels, including during cytokinesis where it ensures successful and symmetrical cell division. Although many proteins are now known to be force sensitive, myosin motors with their ATPase activity and force-sensitive mechanical steps are well poised to facilitate cellular mechanosensing. For a myosin motor to experien...
متن کاملMitosis-Specific Mechanosensing and Contractile-Protein Redistribution Control Cell Shape
Because cell-division failure is deleterious, promoting tumorigenesis in mammals, cells utilize numerous mechanisms to control their cell-cycle progression. Though cell division is considered a well-ordered sequence of biochemical events, cytokinesis, an inherently mechanical process, must also be mechanically controlled to ensure that two equivalent daughter cells are produced with high fideli...
متن کاملA mechanosensory system controls cell shape changes during mitosis.
Essential life processes are heavily controlled by a variety of positive and negative feedback systems. Cytokinesis failure, ultimately leading to aneuploidy, is appreciated as an early step in tumor formation in mammals and is deleterious for all cells. Further, the growing list of cancer predisposition mutations includes a number of genes whose proteins control mitosis and/or cytokinesis. Cyt...
متن کاملThe stress and strain of cytokinesis.
The ultimate goal of all signaling pathways in cytokinesis is to control the mechanical separation of the mother cell into two daughter cells. Because of the intrinsic mechanical nature of cytokinesis, it is essential to understand fully how cell shapes and the material properties of the cell are generated, how these shapes and material properties create force, and how motor proteins such as my...

Mechanotransduction is the process through which cells survey the mechanical properties of their environment, convert these mechanical inputs into biochemical signals, and modulate their phenotype in response. These mechanical inputs, which may be encoded in the form of extracellular matrix stiffness, dimensionality, and adhesion, all strongly influence cell morphology, migration, and fate deci...
