Membrane traffic: a driving force in cytokinesis

摘要: Dividing animal and plant cells maintain a constant chromosome content through temporally separated rounds of replication segregation. Until recently, the mechanisms by which surface area have been considered to be distinct. The prevailing view was that maintained in dividing membrane expansion invagination. latter event, known as cytokinesis, produces two physically distinct daughter has thought primarily driven actomyosin-based constriction. By contrast, addition seems primary mechanism drives cytokinesis plants and, thus, events are linked mechanistically temporally. In this article (which is part Cytokinesis series), we discuss recent studies variety organisms made convincing case for trafficking at cleavage furrow being key component both cytokinesis.
