Cell Division Requires a Direct Link between Microtubule-Bound RacGAP and Anillin in the Contractile Ring
Current Biology, 18(1), 25–29.
MeSH headings : Actomyosin / metabolism; Animals; Cell Division / physiology; Contractile Proteins / analysis; Contractile Proteins / metabolism; Contractile Proteins / physiology; Drosophila / cytology; Drosophila / metabolism; Drosophila Proteins / analysis; Drosophila Proteins / metabolism; Drosophila Proteins / physiology; Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer; GTPase-Activating Proteins / analysis; GTPase-Activating Proteins / metabolism; GTPase-Activating Proteins / physiology; Microtubules / metabolism; Protein Interaction Mapping; Spindle Apparatus / metabolism
TL;DR:
The spindle-associated component, RacGAP50C, which specifies the site of cleavage, interacts directly with Anillin, an actin and myosin binding protein found in the contractile ring, and these results account for the long-observed dependence of cytokinesis on the continual presence of microtubules at the cortex.

Turning a hobby into a job: How duplicated genes find new functions
Nature Reviews Genetics, 9(12), 938–950.
Contributors: G. Conant* & K. Wolfe *
MeSH headings : Animals; Galactokinase / genetics; Gene Dosage; Gene Duplication; Gene Expression; Genome; Humans; Mutation; Saccharomyces cerevisiae / genetics; Saccharomyces cerevisiae Proteins / genetics; Selection, Genetic; Transcription Factors / genetics
TL;DR:
Genomic data suggest that different gene classes tend to be retained after single-gene and whole-genome duplications, and in many cases the 'new' function of one copy is a secondary property that was always present, but that has been co-opted to a primary role after the duplication.
