Mechanisms Regulating Cytokinetic Contractile Ring Formation and Anchoring in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

In Schizosaccharomyces pombe cytokinesis requires assembly and constriction of an actomyosin-based contractile ring (CR). Nucleation of F-actin for the CR requires a single essential formin, Cdc12, that localizes to the cell middle upon mitotic onset. The molecular mechanisms dictating its divison s...
