Cytokinesis, the final step of cell division, relies on ingression of a precisely positioned actomyosin ring. Chromatin-associated Ran-GTP fine-tunes ring position, although the mechanism remains unclear. We hypothesize that depletion of Ran-GTP between segregating chromosomes leads to equatorial enrichment of importins, promoting recruitment of the scaff ...

Cytokinesis is required to physically cleave a cell into two daughters at the end of mitosis. Decades of research have led to a comprehensive understanding of the core cytokinesis machinery and how it is regulated in animal cells, however this knowledge was generated using single cells cultured in vitro, or in early embryos before tissues develop. This ra ...
