Membrane tethering by the atlastin GTPase depends on GTP hydrolysis but not on forming the cross-over configuration.

abstract：:The Rho GTPases RhoA and Rac1 function as master regulators of cytokinesis by controlling the actomyosin cytoskeleton. RhoA and Rac1 have to be respectively activated and inactivated at the division plane for cytokinesis to occur properly. The inactivation of Rac1 at the cleavage furrow is controlled by MgcRacGAP. How...
