- The study describes a regulatory module consisting of RAB-A2a GTPase, Class II Kinesin-12 proteins, and TIO kinase.
- This module coordinates vesicle delivery and phragmoplast remodeling during plant cytokinesis in Arabidopsis.
- Differential functions of Class II Kinesin-12 members at leading and lagging cell plate domains are essential for cytokinesis.
- The module simultaneously targets vesicles to the midzone and couples phragmoplast dynamics to vesicle delivery.
