abstract：:Cytokinesis in animal cells relies on a centralspindlin complex consisting of male germ cell RacGap (MgcRacGAP) and mitotic kinesin-like protein 1 (MKLP1). Rho GTPases act as molecular switches to regulate the actin cytoskeleton for cytokinesis, of which Rac1 is regulated by MgcRacGAP. In this study, we determined the...
