Cytokinesis requires localized β-actin filament production by an actin isoform specific nucleator
Cytokinesis is initiated by the localized assembly of the contractile ring. Here the authors show that the stabilization and organization of the cytokinetic furrow requires localized β-actin filament assembly at the site of cytokinesis by an actin isoform specific nucleator.
