The motor domain of the kinesin-related calmodulin binding protein, KCBP, is shown to bind microtubules in cosedimentation assays with the purified protein. Two MT-binding domains are identified in KCBP, one near the carboxyl terminus and one near the amino terminus. The protein could thus be involved in bundling MTs. Evidence for the function of this protein in organizing MTs is thus growing.

Cell Motil Cytoskeleton. 41:1998;271-280. KCBP distribution is observed in endosperm cells during mitosis and cytokinesis. Interesting shifts in localization patterns are seen during a transition through telophase. KCBP shifts from an association with the spindle poles at the end of mitosis to the equatorial zone. KCBP is eventually localized along the phragmoplast MTs, but also to the nuclear membrane early in telophase and to the cell plate in late telophase. Slight differences in KCBP distribution with BY-2 cells may be due to unique properties of the cellularizing endosperm.

Binucleate wheat cells are produced by caffeine treatment and subsequent patterns of phragmoplast arrangement are recorded in cells of different sizes. The authors conclude that PP could form without respect to the PPB in some cases, suggesting pre-existing spatial cues may dictate cell wall position under certain circumstances.

Cells with wty1 mutations undergo faulty cytokinesis once the cells have begun to over-expand. The results suggest that one spatial cue for the division site may be appropriate length to width or volume ratio in the cell. In addition, neighboring cells in the wty1 mutant, which can look normal, appear to adjust to the defect by dividing more.

The distribution of actin and an associated vinculin-like protein is described in endosperm cells of Clivia. Short actin filaments are seen in the center of the PP and co-localize with vinculin. The authors suggest the proteins are important in maintaining and perhaps guiding the PP during cytokinesis.

58. Gallagher K., Smith L.G. discordia mutations specifically misorient asymmetric cell divisions during development of the maize leaf epidermis. Development. 126:1999;4623-4633. These mutants show an interesting and informative phenotype. Asymmetric divisions that occur during differentiation of the epidermis are affected so that cytokinesis is disrupted and cells expand in abnormal orientations. Normally positioned PPB are present, predicting the correct site for the impending new wall. PP lose direction relative to the site, however, suggesting that they are not guided properly or that residual information marking the site is lost. Particularly intriguing is the fact that actin filament disruption can phenocopy the mutants. The results implicate the genes in a PP guidance process that may require actin or associated proteins.

Stunning views of the distribution of MTs and actin filaments in tan1 and non-mutant leaf primordia are presented. Detailed analysis of cytoskeletal arrays in mutants compared with non-mutants confirm that longitudinal divisions are specifically disrupted in the mutant. PPBs do not occupy the expected longitudinally oriented position. PP formations are also slightly disoriented compared with normal.

Plant J. 15:1998;321-332. The cyt1 mutant shows lethal defects in cytokinesis that result in abnormal cross-walls and excessive accumulation of callose - a component of the forming cell plate. Cellulose synthesis disruption phenocopies the mutant defect, suggesting the gene may be involved in regulating the transition form cytokinesis to cell wall synthesis.

Cytokinesis is disrupted in the developing pollen grain so that essential asymmetries are not carried forward to permit specification of the vegetative and generative cells.
