Connecting membrane traffic to ESCRT and the final cut

Nature Cell Biology volume 14, pages 983–985 (2012)Cite this article

Subjects

The ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) machinery is responsible for scission of the cytokinetic bridge that connects daughter cells at the end of mitosis. Specific endosomes are now found to mediate local bridge constriction and actin clearance in human cells, which contribute to the recruitment of ESCRT components at the abscission site.
