The Clp1-Cdc14 phosphatase contributes to the robustness of cytokinesis by association with anillin-related Mid1
Oct. 6, 2008—The Clp1/Cdc14 phosphatase contributes to the robustness of cytokinesis by association with anillin-related Mid Cdc14 phosphatases antagonize cyclin-dependent kinase–directed phosphorylation events and are involved in several facets of cell cycle control. We investigate the role of the fission yeast Cdc14 homologue Clp1/Flp1 in cytokinesis. We find that Clp1/Flp1 is tethered at the contractile ring (CR)...
