The Rho-family GTPase Cdc42 regulates cell polarity and localizes to the cell division site.
Cdc42 is activated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs). We report that Cdc42 …

During cytokinesis, animal and fungal cells form a membrane furrow via actomyosin ring
constriction. Our understanding of actomyosin ring‐driven cytokinesis stems extensively from …

Cdc42, a conserved regulator of cell polarity, is activated by two GEFs, Gef1 and Scd1, in
fission yeast. Why the cell needs two GEFs is unclear, given that they are partially redundant …

Fission yeast cytokinesis is driven by simultaneous septum synthesis, membrane furrowing
and actomyosin ring constriction. The septum consists of a primary septum flanked by …

Cdc42, a Rho-family GTPase, is a master regulator of cell polarity. Recently, it has been
shown that Cdc42 also facilitates proper cytokinesis in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces …

The Arabidopsis A1-type cyclin, CYCA1;2, also named TARDY ASYNCHRONOUS MEIOSIS
(TAM), is known for its positive role in meiotic cell cycle progression, but its function in other …

Cytokinesis, the final step in cell division is critical for maintaining genome integrity. Proper
cytokinesis is important for cell differentiation and development. Cytokinesis involves a series …

… known about how Cdc42 promotes actin organization and polarization, 52 the
spatiotemporal manner in which regulation of Cdc42 is fine-tuned is not well 53 understood. …
