Actin-Microtubule Crosstalk Imparts Stiffness to the Contractile Ring in Fission Yeast
CELLS, 12(6).
author keywords: cytokinesis; mitosis; microtubules; mechanical properties; contractile ring; quantitative microscopy
MeSH headings : Actins; Schizosaccharomyces; Microtubules; Cytoskeleton; Cell Division
TL;DR:
It is proposed that the post-anaphase array of microtubules exploit the contractile ring for their assembly and function during cell division, while the contractiles ring may receive no benefit from these interactions.

Imp2p forms actin-dependent clusters and imparts stiffness to the contractile ring
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF THE CELL, 33(14).
MeSH headings : Actin Cytoskeleton / metabolism; Actins / metabolism; Cytokinesis; Schizosaccharomyces / metabolism; Schizosaccharomyces pombe Proteins / metabolism
TL;DR:
It is found that similarly to Cdc15p, Imp2p contributes to the stiffness of the contractile ring and assembles into protein clusters, indicating that the two proteins influence each other during cytokinesis, which may partially explain their similar phenotypes.

Laser ablation reveals the impact of Cdc15p on the stiffness of the contractile ring
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF THE CELL, 33(6).
MeSH headings : Actin Cytoskeleton / metabolism; Cytokinesis; Laser Therapy; Schizosaccharomyces / metabolism; Schizosaccharomyces pombe Proteins / metabolism
TL;DR:
This work shows that the severed constricting contractile ring recoils to a finite point leaving a gap that can heal if less than ∼1 µm, and proposes that Cdc15p impacts the stiffness of the contractiles ring more than the viscous drag.

Molecular organization of cytokinesis node predicts the constriction rate of the contractile ring
JOURNAL OF CELL BIOLOGY, 220(3).

TL;DR:
This work leveraged the Δmid1 contractile ring assembly mechanism to determine how two distinct molecular organizations, nodes versus strands, can yield functional contractile rings and establishes a predictive correlation between the molecular organization of nodes and the behavior of the contractiles ring.

Resolving single-actin filaments within the contractile ring of fission yeast
Laplante, C. (2018, February 13). PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Vol. 115, pp. 1403–1405.
MeSH headings : Actin Cytoskeleton; Actins; Cytokinesis; Schizosaccharomyces; Schizosaccharomyces pombe Proteins
TL;DR:
There are still many aspects of the general mechanisms of contractile ring assembly, constriction, and disassembly that the authors do not understand and one remaining enigma about cytokinesis is the how the network of actin filaments is structured during constriction.

Response to Zambon et al.
Current Biology, 27(3), R101–R102.
MeSH headings : Constriction; Myosin Heavy Chains; Myosin Type II; Myosins; Schizosaccharomyces; Schizosaccharomyces pombe Proteins
TL;DR:
It is concluded that Myo2p is the major motor involved in ring contraction in S. pombe and most of the differences observed by Zambon et al. can be attributed to their use of the Rlc1p-3GFP marker, which genetically interacts with myo2-E1.

Molecular organization of cytokinesis nodes and contractile rings by super-resolution fluorescence microscopy of live fission yeast
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 113(40), E5876–E5885.
author keywords: super resolution; cytokinesis; cytokinetic nodes; contractile ring; fission yeast
MeSH headings : Actin Cytoskeleton / metabolism; Actins / metabolism; Cytokinesis; Interphase; Microscopy, Fluorescence / methods; Models, Molecular; Phenotype; Schizosaccharomyces / cytology; Schizosaccharomyces / metabolism; Schizosaccharomyces pombe Proteins / metabolism
TL;DR:
It is shown that nodes, protein assembly precursors to the contractile ring, are discrete structural units with stoichiometric ratios and distinct distributions of constituent proteins, which establish the organization of the proteins in the functional units of a cytokinetic contractiles ring.

TL;DR:
Three myosins function in a hierarchal, complementary manner to accomplish cytokinesis, with Myo2 and Myo51 taking the lead during contractile ring assembly and Myp2 making the greatest contribution to constriction.

Asymmetric distribution of Echinoid defines the epidermal leading edge during Drosophila dorsal closure
The Journal of Cell Biology, 192(2), 335–348.
MeSH headings : Actins / metabolism; Actomyosin / metabolism; Amino Acid Motifs; Animals; Cell Adhesion; Cell Adhesion Molecules / chemistry; Cell Adhesion Molecules / metabolism; Cell Movement; Cell Polarity; Drosophila Proteins / chemistry; Drosophila Proteins / metabolism; Drosophila melanogaster / embryology; Drosophila melanogaster / metabolism; Epidermal Cells; Epidermis / metabolism; Intracellular Signaling Peptides and Proteins / metabolism; Protein Structure, Tertiary; Repressor Proteins / chemistry; Repressor Proteins / metabolism
TL;DR:
Upon loss of a binding partner in apposed tissue, the homophilic cell adhesion protein Echinoid adopts a planar polarization localization, which promotes the planar polarized localization of thePlanar cell polarity protein Bazooka/Par-3 and targets actomyosin cable assembly to the epidermal leading edge, thus establishing the migration direction of the developing epidermis.
