Abstract excerpt

Fission yeast cells divide by medial cleavage using an actin-based contractile ring. We have conducted a genetic screen for temperature-sensitive mutants defective in the assembly and placement of this actin ring. Six genes necessary for actin ring formation and one gene necessary for placement o...
