Background: Type I myosin is highly conserved among eukaryotes, and apparently plays important roles in a number of cellular processes. In the budding yeast, two myosin I species have been identified and their role in F-actin assembly has been inf...

We studied reorganization of actin-myosin cytoskeleton at the growing ends of the cleavage furrow of Xenopus eggs in order to understand how the contractile ring is formed during cytokinesis.
Reorganization of F-actin structures during the furrow ...
How actin filaments (F-actin) and myosin II (myosin) assemble to form the contractile ring was investigated with fission yeast and Xenopus egg. In fission yeast cells, an aster-like structure composed of F-actin cables is formed at the medial cort...
