Apical spectrin organizes cortical actin filament bundles to pattern C. elegans cuticle ridges

Prioty F. Sarwar, Trevor J. Barker, Ken C. Q. Nguyen, Fung‐Yi Chan, David H. Hall, Ana Xavier Carvalho, Meera V. Sundaram

The paper shows that apical spectrin organizes actin filament bundles in C. elegans to pattern cuticle ridges, and its loss disrupts ridge formation and matrix delamination.

Flow-independent accumulation of motor-competent non-muscle myosin II in the contractile ring is essential for cytokinesis

DS Osorio, FY Chan, J Saramago, J Leite, AM Silva, AF Sobral, R Gassmann, AX Carvalho

This study shows that motor activity of non-muscle myosin II is essential for cytokinesis, independent of actin flows, by analyzing C. elegans embryos with motor mutants.
