Same as Video 2, except that the filament also concurrently depolymerizes during constriction and rotation. As a result, once hemifission sets in, the two point-defects at the ends of the resulting cylindrical hemifission micelle are no longer kept far apart by the now much shorter enclosing scaffold, permitting the defects to annihilate and thus fission to complete.
