Myosin Dynamics in Drosophila Neuroblasts Lead to Asymmetric Cytokinesis

Connell, Marisa (University of Oregon, 2013-07-11)

Cells divide to create two daughter cells through cytokinesis. Daughter cells of different sizes are created by shifting the position of the cleavage furrow. The cleavage furrow forms at the position of the metaphase ...
Regulatory Elements of Drosophila Non-Muscle Myosin II

Frei, Ryan (University of Oregon, 2013-07-11)

Non-muscle myosin II (NM-II) is present in every cell type and moves actin filaments to provide contraction within the cell. NM-II has a motor domain, a neck domain that binds two light chains, a long coiled-coil tail ...
