Coronin in cytokinesis
Accumulation of coronin at polar regions of dividing cells. Cells expressing GFP-Coronin were observed as they were undergoing cytokinesis. Images were captured every 10 seconds. From K. Barisic, M. Ecke, C. Heizer, M. Maniak, M. Westphal, R. Albrecht, G. Gerisch, Max-Planck-Institut fur Biochemie, Martinsried, Germany.

 

Actin Binding Domain in cytokinesis

Myosin heavy chain mutant expressing GFP-ABD undergoing cytokinesis on a surface. DIC and fluorescence images were collected simultaneously every 10 seconds by confocal microscopy. From E. Shelden and D.A. Knecht,  University of Connecticut
