Cleavage furrow
- CLIC4 is a cytokinetic cleavage furrow protein that regulates cortical cytoskeleton stability during cell division
Highlighted Article: CLIC4 regulates remodeling of the sub-plasma-membrane actomyosin network within the cytokinetic furrow by recruiting MST4 kinase and regulating ezrin phosphorylation, thus regulating cortex stiffness and blebbing.
- Apicoplast fatty acid synthesis is essential for pellicle formation at the end of cytokinesis in Toxoplasma gondii
Summary: Disruption of the FASII fatty acid synthesis pathway in the apicoplast of Toxoplasma gondii leads to a defect in cleavage furrow formation, preventing completion of cytokinesis.
