Abstract

Cytokinesis is the final step in cell division essential for cell proliferation, tissue differentiation and animal reproduction. Cytokinesis is featured by its dramatic changes in cell shape by which a cell divides into two nascent cells with equal genomic background. The cell morphogenesis during cytokinesis is mainly driven by extensive reorganization of cytoskeleton. However, recent studies demonstrated that various membrane dynamics such as membrane trafficking and membrane remodeling also play essential roles during cytokinesis. In this review, I will overview function and regulation of the membrane dynamics during cytokinesis and discuss about its future perspectives.
