­Back-to-back mechanisms drive actomyosin ring closure during Drosophila embryo cleavage

Contraction of actomyosin rings during cytokinesis is typically attributed to actin filaments sliding toward each other via Myosin-2 motor activity. However, rings constrict in some cells in the absence of Myosin-2 activity. Thus, ring closure uses Myosin-2–dependent and –independent mechanisms. But...
