Abstract excerpt
Cytokinesis in myosin II-null (mhcA-) cells of Dictyostelium discoideum requires adhesion to a substratum. Moreover, such myosin II-independent, adhesion-dependent cytokinesis can be divided into two distinct classes: a cell cycle-coupled form (cytokinesis B) and a cell cycle-independent form (cytokinesis C). To better understand the mechanisms underlying cytokinesis B and C, we introduced mutations into mhcA-...
