Cell division: SIN, cytokinesis and ethanol dependency

Curr Biol. 2005 Aug 9;15(15):R605-7. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2005.07.045.

Abstract

A novel mutant screen in fission yeast has identified the 'ethanol dependent' protein etd1p as a potential link between the septation initiation network (SIN), which initiates cytokinesis, and the actomyosin contractile ring that drives separation of the two daughter cells at the end of mitosis.
