Cytokinesis is the physical division of one cell into two daughter cells that occurs at the end of the cell cycle. 1 Cytokinesis is thought to be fundamentally similar in all metazoan divisionsthat is, driven by constriction of an equatorial actomyosin contractile ring positioned and controlled by signals from the mitotic spindle. However, there are two main types of animal cell division: symmetric and asymmetric. Symmetric divisions produce daughter cells with equal cytoplasmic and cortical components, and thus the same cell size and fate. In contrast, many embryonic and stem cell divisions are asymmetric, resulting in daughter cells of differing cell size and/or cell fate. It is unknown if cytokinesis is differentially regulated in symmetric and/or asymmetrically dividing cells. During asymmetric cell divisions, the PAR proteins (PARtitioning defective) control the unequal inheritance of key cell fate determinants. 2 The C. elegans single-cell zygote has been a seminal system for understanding the molecular regulation of anterior-posterior (AP) polarity. In this system, fertilization triggers polarity establishment and the formation of opposing anterior PAR (aPAR) and posterior PAR (pPAR) domains within the zygote. Anterior-directed actomyosin-based cortical flow leads to the enrichment of cortical aPARs (myosin-II, PAR-3, PAR-6, PKC-3, and CDC-42) on the anterior cell cortex. At the same time, the cortical pPAR protein PAR-2 localizes to the posterior cortex where it excludes the aPARs. The aPARs and pPARs remain on opposing sides of the cell cortex, a state maintained via mutual inhibition up to and during cytokinesis. 2The core cortical PAR proteins were previously thought to control cytokinesis indirectly by positioning the mitotic spindle and spindle-associated signals, which in turn control the contractile ring during cytokinesis. However, experiments in asymmetrically dividing Drosophila neuroblasts revealed a polaritydependent contractile ring can form when the spindle is perturbed. 3
