Rgf1p localizes to the contractile acto-myosin ring (AR) during cytokinesis.

(A) Time series of fluorescence micrographs (maximum intensity projections of seven sections, inverted grayscale) of a single cell expressing three fluorescent fusion proteins: Sad1p-DsRed to label SPBs; Rlc1p-tdTom to label the ring; and Rgf1p-GFP. Blankophor (BP) 5 µg/ml was used to mark the septum. (B) Maximum projection of super-resolution images of the same cells as above showing the merged image of the localization of the SPBs (red), Rgf1p (green), and Rlc1p (red). The profile of green and red fluorescence intensity on a line across the division site is shown for cells a, and b, on the right panels. Scale bar 2 μm. (C) Cell images of nda3-KM311 strain expressing Rgf1p-GFP incubated at 18°C for 8 hr before imaging. Cells were stained with BP right before imaging. (D) Maximum projection images of cdc15-140 and cdc11-119 cells expressing Rgf1p-GFP and Rlc1p-tdTom. Cells grown at 25°C were transferred 3 hr at 36°C and the images were taken before and after the shift.

(A, B) Timing of cytokinesis from SPB separation to the end of actomyosin ring contraction. Time-lapse series of wild type and rgf1Δ cells expressing Imp2p-GFP (AR marker) and Sid4p-GFP (mitotic marker). Cells grown at 28°C were imaged w/o Blankophor (A) or with Blankophor (5 µg/ml) added just before the time-lapse analysis (B). Images shown are maximum-intensity projections of z stacks. (C) Quantification of (A and B) is shown. Boxes represents the IQR, whiskers are the Tukey’s range and the line inside the box is the median. Asterisks indicate the statistical significance of the difference between the two genotypes and the two conditions. Statistical significance was calculated by ANOVA followed by Šídák’s multiple comparisons test (n.s. p>0.05; ***p<0.0001). (D) Blankophor (BP) slows down cytokinesis. Cells grown at 28°C were imaged during a time–lapse experiment in the presence of different concentrations of BP. Quantification of the timing of cytokinesis in individual cells of each BP condition is shown. Statistics were performed as in C, comparing each condition with untreated wild type cells (n.s. p>0.05; **p<0.005; ***p<0.0001). (E) The percentage of wild type and rgf1Δ cells treated with 5 µg/ml of BP, where the ring contraction is completely blocked. The data plotted here is the averaged of three independent experiments, with >20 cells for each strain, and the error bars represent the SD of the mean. (F) PM behavior during cytokinesis in BP treated cells. Wild type and rgf1Δ expressing Sad1p-GFP (SPB marker) and LactC2–GFP (PM marker) were treated with BP and time-lapse-imaged every 3 min. (t = 0 indicates SPB separation) (lower panels). BP fluorescence images are shown in the lower panels. Wild-type cells w/o BP are shown in the upper panel.

SIN signaling is required for cell wall stress dependent delay.

(A) The graph shows quantitative data for sid2-250 cells expressing Imp2p-GFP/Sid4p-GFP and grown to exponential phase at 25°C. Cultures were shifted to 36°C and imaged after 2 and 3 hr. Thirty minutes before imaging half of the cells were treated with BP (10 µg/ml) (right panels). (B) A time series of the maximum intensity projections of fluorescence micrographs of cells expressing (green) Cdc7p–EGFP and (red) Sad1p–tdTomato at 28°C. Cells were imaged w/o BP (top panel) (n = 11) or with BP (5 µg/ml) added (lower panel) (n = 12) using a spinning-disk confocal microscope. Measurements of Cdc7p–EGFP intensity on the brighter SPB over time in cells with BP (red) or w/o BP (grey) shown in A, with time 0 being SPB separation. (C) Time lapse series of wild type and sid2-250 cells expressing Imp2p-GFP and Sid4p-GFP. Cells were grown at 25°C and shifted to 32°C 1 hr before time-lapse imaging at 32°C.

Asterisks indicate the statistical significance of the difference between the two conditions. Statistical significance was calculated by ANOVA followed by Šídák’s multiple comparisons test (n.s. p>0.05; ***p<0.0001). (D) Model for CIP-mediated CAR contraction delay caused by cell wall stress in fission yeast cytokinesis. Typically, rgf1+ and pmk1+ cells undergo a cytokinesis arrest in the presence of mild cell wall stress. In this context, Pmk1p signal maintains CRs stability in a SIN dependent manner. However, when the signal is blocked in deletion mutants of the CIP components or when the SIN kinase Sid2p is not fully active, the ring is prematurely closed. Persistent cell wall stress leads to the formation of multiseptated cells. Thus, the CIP-mediated signal is transmitted to the SIN that stabilizes AR before constriction and enable proper CAR performance.
