The golgin Lava lamp mediates dynein-based Golgi movements during Drosophila cellularization

Ophelia Papoulas , Thomas S. Hays & John C. Sisson

Drosophila melanogaster cellularization is a dramatic form of cytokinesis in which a membrane furrow simultaneously encapsulates thousands of cortical nuclei of the syncytial embryo to generate a polarized cell layer. Formation of this cleavage furrow depends on Golgi-based secretion and microtubules.
