Abstract:Successful cell division requires dramatic reorganization of the cell cortex in coordination with actomyosin cytoskeleton organization, membrane trafficking and cell adhesion. Although the contractile actomyosin ring is considered as hallmark of cytokinesis, in some cell types cell adhesion systems have been shown to drive cytokinesis independently from actomyosin function. We previously reported that Protocadherin 7 (PCDH7) localizes to the mitotic cortex which is required for building up the full mitotic rou… Show more
