Three myosins contribute uniquely to the assembly and constriction of the fission yeast cytokinetic contractile ring.

Abstract excerpt

Cytokinesis in fission yeast cells depends on conventional myosin-II (Myo2) to assemble and constrict a contractile ring of actin filaments. Less is known about the functions of an unconventional myosin-II (Myp2) and a myosin-V (Myo51) that are also present in the contractile ring. Myo2 appears in cytokinetic nodes around the equator 10 min before spindle pole body separation (cell-cycle time, -10 min)...
