Cell biology: Cytoskeleton in the cell cycle
Yukinobu Nakaseko1 & Mitsuhiro Yanagida1
Abstract
During cell division, a series of checkpoints make sure that events are proceeding normally. The latest checkpoint to be discovered monitors the actin cytoskeleton, ensuring that it is organized correctly.
The internal filamentous structures that support a cell and give it shape are more dynamic than their name — the cytoskeleton — might suggest. The cytoskeleton is constantly changing and rearranging, contributing to a variety of cellular functions.
