Cleavage furrow formation and ingression during cytokinesis in mammalian cells. Schematic representation of cells in anaphase (left) and telophase (right). (a) Anillin functions in connecting the spindle MT with the ACR through interactions with RhoA (see (b) for labels). (b) RhoA GTP-dependent activity is induced by interactions with the MgcRacgap and ECT2, after which leads to polymerization of actin filaments and induction of the phosphorylation-dependent myosin-II activation; these events lead to the formation and ingression of the cleavage furrow through interactions between myosin heads and actin filaments.
