New JCS snapshot: The MLL/WDR5 complex promotes midbody recruitment of KIF2C for microtubule depolymerisation and furrow initiation during cytokinesis

Posted by FocalPlane, on 10 December 2025

In our latest JCS snapshot we hear from Avishek Kataria, who, together with Shweta Tyagi and colleagues, discovered that the MLL/WDR5 complex promotes midbody recruitment of KIF2C for microtubule depolymerisation and furrow initiation during cytokinesis. In this snapshot, Avishek takes us through the key findings from their research.
