Contractile ring composition dictates kinetics of in silico contractility

D. B. Cortes, F. Nedelec, A. S. Maddox

The paper measures cytokinetic ring component dynamics in C. elegans and shows that realistic constriction kinetics emerge when incorporating measured composition changes into a 3D agent-based model.

Bond type and discretization of non-muscle myosin II are critical for simulated contractile dynamics

D. B. Cortes, M. B. Gordon, F. J. Nedelec, A. S. Maddox

This study compares different models of non-muscle myosin II ensembles to determine how bond type and discretization affect contractile dynamics in actomyosin networks.

Novel cytokinetic ring components drive negative feedback in cortical contractility

K. Rehain-Bell, M. E. Werner, A. Doshi, D. B. Cortes, A. Sattler, T. T. Vuong-Brender, M. Labouesse, A. S. Maddox

This study identifies GCK-1 and CCM-3 as novel cytokinetic ring components that form a negative feedback loop to regulate RhoA-mediated actomyosin contractility during cytokinesis and zygote polarization.

Crosslinkers both drive and brake cytoskeletal remodeling and furrowing in cytokinesis

C. P. Descovich, D. B. Cortes, S. Ryan, J. Nash, L. Zhang, P. S. Maddox, F. Nedelec, A. S. Maddox

This study shows that both motor and non-motor crosslinkers influence cytokinetic furrowing speed, promoting contraction at low levels but braking at higher levels.
