Model of regulation of centralspindlin by Aurora B and MYPT1-PP1β during cytokinesis. During furrowing (top panel) MYPT1-PP1β accumulates at the cortex with no or very limited access to the centralspindlin pool that localizes to the central spindle midzone, which is highly phosphorylated by Aurora B and therefore can form clusters. After completion of furrow ingression, MYPT1/PP1β accumulates at the midbody ring whereas Aurora B localizes to the midbody arms (bottom panel). This allows PP1β to de-phosphorylate MKLP1 at S708, which could strengthen the association of centralspindlin with PRC1. See text for more details
