“…There is now a general consensus that Rappaport’s “cleavage stimulus” involves the Chromosomal Passenger, PRC1/Kif4A, and centralspindlin complexes that organize the post-anaphase central spindle and direct the local activation of Rho ( Glotzer, 2009 ; Mishima, 2016 ; Basant and Glotzer, 2018 ). The notion of negative regulatory cues have a long history ( Wolpert, 1960 ) and there is evidence supporting the idea that there are antagonistic signals or mechanisms for clearing contractile proteins from the polar regions ( Murthy and Wadsworth, 2008 ; Kunda et al, 2012 ; Rodrigues et al, 2015 ; Mangal et al, 2018 ; Chapa-Y-Lazo et al, 2020 ). Rac has also been implicated as a negative regulator for cytokinesis ( D’Avino et al, 2004 ; Yoshizaki et al, 2004 ; Canman et al, 2008 ; Cannet et al, 2014 ), with proposed downstream effectors including PAK-mediated cell adhesion ( Bastos et al, 2012 ) and the Arp2/3 complex ( Canman et al, 2008 ).…”
