Cell division can then be thought of as a series of intermediate cell shapes (sphere, cylinder and dumbbell) that are produced along this pathway of cleaving the mother cell.
By the time the cell has assumed a dumbbell shape, the required contractile force is nearly one third of that required during the cylindrical shape stage.
Thus, for the transition from the cylinder to dumbbell stage, the flux of wild type and 3 × Ala myosin-II must come largely from the cytoplasm to the cortex and myosin-II is recruited into the furrow cortex at the expense of the polar cortex.
As the cell progresses from the cylindrical stage to the dumbbell stage, the amount of wild type myosin-II in the cortex increases from 21% to 27% of the total cellular myosin-II.
To do this, we modeled the cell in three shapes: a sphere at early anaphase, a cylinder with two spherical caps at late anaphase, and a dumbbell with spherical cap domains connected by a cylindrical intercellular bridge.
