Animal Cytokinesis: From Parts List to Mechanisms
Abstract
The mechanism underlying cytokinesis, the final step in cell division, remains one of the major unsolved questions in basic cell biology. Thanks to advances in functional genomics and proteomics, we are now able to assemble a “parts list” of proteins involved in cytokinesis. In this review, we discuss how to relate this parts list to biological mechanism. For easier analysis, we split cytokinesis into discrete steps: cleavage plane specification, rearrangement of microtubule structures, contractile ring assembly, ring ingression, and completion. We report on the advances that have been made to understand these steps and how they can be integrated into a global understanding of cytokinesis. We also discuss the extent to which classic questions have been answered and identify major outstanding questions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
