Distinct Roles of Myosin-II Isoforms in Cytokinesis under Normal and Stressed Conditions

Summary: To address the question of why more than one myosin-II isoform is expressed in a single cell to drive cytokinesis, we analyzed the roles of the myosin-II isoforms, Myo2 and Myp2, of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, in cytokinesis under normal and stressed conditions. We found th...
