Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic cells assemble actomyosin rings during cytokinesis to function as force-generating machines to drive membrane invagination and to counteract the intracellular pressure and the cell surface tension. How the extracellular matrix affects actomyosin ring contraction has not been fully explored. While studying the Schizosaccharomyces pombe 1,3-β-glucan-synthase mutant cps1-191, which is defective in...
