At the end of nuclear division in the budding yeast, acto‐myosin ring contraction and cytokinesis occur between mother and daughter cells. This is followed by cell separation, after which mother and daughter cells go their separate ways. While cell separation may be the last event that takes place between the two cells, it is nonetheless under tight regulation which ensures that both cells are viable upon separation. It is becoming increasingly clear that the components of the cell separation…

Cytokinesis in Eukaryotic Cells: The Furrow Complexity at a Glance

This review describes symmetric and asymmetric cell division in animal cell and in a model organism, budding yeast and discusses the connections with normal cell proliferation and organs development and with the occurrence of human diseases.

A cell separation checkpoint that enforces the proper order of late cytokinetic events

A system that blocks late events of cytokinesis until early ones are successfully accomplished is discovered, a checkpoint ensuring proper temporal sequence of mechanistically incompatible processes of cytokineis.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Dma proteins participate in cytokinesis by controlling two different pathways

Findings suggest that the Dma proteins act as negative regulators of cytokinesis, which is driven by tightly regulated pathways, leading to actomyosin ring contraction coupled to plasma membrane constriction and to centripetal growth of the primary septum.

Evidence that a septin diffusion barrier is dispensable for cytokinesis in budding yeast

It is shown that in cells lacking the se leptin Cdc10 or the septin-associated protein Bud4, the septins form a ring-like structure at the mother-bud neck that fails to re-arrange into a double ring early in cytokinesis, suggesting that tethering to the AMR and a septin diffusion barrier may function redundantly to localize proteins to the division site.

Mechanisms of cytokinesis in budding yeast

The mechanics of cytokinesis in budding yeast is discussed, highlighting its common and unique features as well as the emerging questions.

The power of MEN in cytokinesis

The current view on the role of MEN kinases and Cdc14 in cytokinesis is discussed and comment on the cytokine-related function of MEN and CDC14 orthologs in higher eukaryotes is commented on.

Role of the F -BAR protein Hof -1 in the regulation of chitin synthesis and cytokinesis in yeast

It is shown that the F-BAR protein Hof1 is involved in the endocytic removal of Chs3 from the bud neck alter chitin ring deposition and possibly later after cytokinesis.

Stepwise and cooperative assembly of a cytokinetic core complex in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Epistasis analyses of two IQG1 alleles that are incompatible with formation of the MIH complex support the existence and functional significance of a large cytokinetic core complex that acts as hinge between the AMR and the proteins involved in cell wall synthesis and membrane attachment.

MEN, destruction and separation: mechanistic links between mitotic exit and cytokinesis in budding yeast.

It is proposed that the requirement of MEN components for cytokinesis, their translocation to the mother-daughter neck and triggering of this translocation by inactivation of the mitotic kinase may be the three crucial elements that render initiation of cytokineis dependent on mitotic exit.

The septation apparatus, an autonomous system in budding yeast.

The septation apparatus, composed of septins, contractile ring, and the chitin synthase II system, can function at ectopic locations autonomously and independently of cell division, and that it can recruit the other elements necessary for the formation of secondary septa.

Involvement of an Actomyosin Contractile Ring in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cytokinesis

The contractile actomyosin ring is not essential for cytokinesis in S. cerevisiae, and in its absence, cytokineses can still be completed by a process that appears to require septin function and to be facilitated by F-actin.

Inactivation of mitotic kinase triggers translocation of MEN components to mother-daughter neck in yeast.

It is shown that Dbf2 and Dbf20 functions are necessary for the execution of cytokinesis, and the requirement of kinase inactivation for translocation of MEN components to the division site thus provides a mechanism that renders mitotic exit a prerequisite for cytokineis.

The budding yeast Cdc15 localizes to the spindle pole body in a cell-cycle-dependent manner.

The results presented here suggest that the transient cell-cycle-dependent localization of Cdc15 to the SPB plays a role in the regulation of the latest stages of the cell cycle.

Sequential Assembly of Myosin II, an IQGAP-like Protein, and Filamentous Actin to a Ring Structure Involved in Budding Yeast Cytokinesis

Results indicate that cytokinesis in budding yeast is likely to involve an actomyosin-based contractile ring, and Cyk1p plays a role in the recruitment of actin filaments, perhaps through a filament-binding activity similar to that demonstrated for mammalian IQGAPs.

The Yeast Cell Wall and Septum as Paradigms of Cell Growth and Morphogenesis*

Because of the versatility of budding yeast for biochemical and genetic studies, the most comprehensive body of work on fungal cell walls has been carried out with this organism, and this review will deal specifically with Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

A Septin-based Hierarchy of Proteins Required for Localized Deposition of Chitin in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cell Wall

Results suggest that the normal localization of chitin synthase III activity is achieved by assembly of a complex in which Chs3p is linked to the septins via Chs4p and Bni4p.

The Cbk1p Pathway Is Important for Polarized Cell Growth and Cell Separation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The results suggest that Cbk1p and Hym1p function to regulate two distinct cell morphogenesis pathways: an ACE2-independent pathway that is required for efficient apical growth and mating projection formation and anACE2-dependent pathways that is necessary for efficient cell separation following cytokinesis.
