Myosin-II Puts the Squeeze on Asymmetric Cell Division

Research output: Contribution to journal › Short survey › peer-review

Abstract

Asymmetric cell division-where two dissimilar daughter cells are produced-relies on asymmetric positioning of the telophase spindle midzone, which specifies the cleavage furrow. Ou et al. (2010) now report in Science a mechanism of asymmetric midzone positioning driven by a polarized cortical distribution of the contractile motor myosin-II.
