Burning cellular bridges: Two pathways to the big breakup

During cytokinetic abscission, the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) proteins are recruited to the midbody and direct the severing of the intercellular bridge. In this issue, Christ et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201507009) demonstrate that two separate but redundant pathways exist to recruit ESCRT-III proteins to the midbody.

We assess the connection between water and energy production and conduct a comparative analysis for estimating the energy...
