Gene Information from Publications

Publication Link Summary of findings
17688947 This gene was silenced.
16103226 Central spindle localization of ECT2 assists division plane positioning and the CYK-4 subunit of centralspindlin acts upstream of RhoA to promote furrow assembly.
16129829 MgcRacGAP controls the initiation of cytokinesis by regulating ECT2, which in turn induces the assembly of the contractile ring and triggers the ingression of the cleavage furrow
16778203 ECT2 knockdown triggers cell cycle arrest in G1.
14587037 XRCC1, CLB6, and BRCT domains of ECT2 play a critical role in regulating cytokinesis
16118207 Cdk1 inactivation is sufficient to activate a signaling pathway leading to cytokinesis, which emanates from mitotic spindles and is regulated by ECT2, MgcRacGAP, and RhoA
16803869 In mitotic cells Ect2 localizes to the central spindle and to the cell cortex.
15254234 ECT2 regulates the polarity complex Par6/Par3/PKCzeta and possibly plays a role in epithelial cell polarity
16247472 ECT2 is regulated by Plk1 and CDK1, phosphorylation of ECT2 leads to accumulation of RHOA
16170345 a conformational change of ECT2 upon phosphorylation at T341. Therefore, ECT2 activity might be regulated by the phosphorylation status of T341.
