Cytokinesis in animal cells

TL;DR: This review provides an overview of four topics in animal cell cytokinesis: signaling between the anaphase spindle and cortex, the mechanics of cortical remodeling, abscission, and regulation of cytokineis by the cell cycle machinery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional analysis of kinetochore assembly in Caenorhabditis elegans.

TL;DR: Different roles are suggested for the kinetochore and the chromosomal passengers in mitotic chromosome segregation and the recruitment of CeINCENP to chromosomes, which are independent of each other.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aurora-A kinase is required for centrosome maturation in Caenorhabditis elegans

TL;DR: It is suggested that aurora-A kinases are required to execute a MT-independent pathway for the recruitment of PCM during centrosome maturation, as well as for the increase in centrosomal γ-tubulin as embryos enter mitosis.
