Curvature-induced expulsion of actomyosin bundles during cytokinetic ring contraction

Curvature-induced expulsion of actomyosin bundles during cytokinetic ring contraction

Many eukaryotes assemble a ring-shaped actomyosin network that contracts to drive cytokinesis. Unlike actomyosin in sarcomeres, which cycles through contraction and relaxation, the cytokinetic ring disassembles during contraction through an unknown mechanism. Here we find in Schizosaccharomyces japo...
