Abstract
Cytokinesis ensures proper partitioning of genomic and cytoplasmic material between dividing cells. A key regulator of this process is the centralspindlin complex. Two recent papers report that GAP activity of one of the members of this complex regulates the function of Rho family GTPases during cytokinesis.
