Fig. 8. Sarcomere disassembly during cell division. Thick (myosin and associated proteins) filaments are represented in dark blue, thin (actin and associated proteins) filaments in yellow and titin filaments in red. The Z-disk is shown in green, the M-band in purple. In metaphase, Z-disk associated proteins are already disassembled (indicated by font in italics), while the thick filaments and the M-band still remain intact, only to be disassembled in late anaphase.
