Cleavage furrows form in the areas between apposing asters. This is an interesting system that should be probed with additional markers.

120. Danilchik MV, Funk WC, Brown EE, Larkin K Requirement for microtubules in new membrane formation during cytokinesis of Xenopus embryos. Dev Biol. 194:1998;47-60. This paper documents the existence of a furrow microtubule array (FMA) in cleaving Xenopus embryos. The FMA consists of a ring of MT bundles perpendicular to the cleavage plane, the ends of which appear to interdigitate at the leading edge of the furrow. The FMA appears coincident with the onset of membrane deposition during cytokinesis and depolymerization of FMA microtubules by treatment with nocodazole or cold shock prevents the addition of new plasma membrane and causes the furrow to recede.

Showed that preventing CDK1 inactivation by a nondegradable form of cyclin B blocks cytokinesis but not other anaphase events such as chromosome disjunction and movement, and this effect is likely due to a lack of interzonal microtubules or the accumulation of actin and myosin II to the cell equator.

Showed that two proteins, a small GTPase (Spg1) and a protein kinase (Cdc7), which are required for cytokinesis, localize to the spindle pole bodies; intriguingly, the association of Cdc7 with the SPBs becomes asymmetric during anaphase probably as a result of GTP hydrolysis of Spg1 at one of the SPBs.
