General description

Anillin is a highly conserved multidomain protein that crosslinks multiple structural and regulatory elements including, but not limited to, F-actin, active myosin II, septins, and importin. It positively regulates normal cytokinesis; however, its molecular function within this context remains unclear. Failed cytokinesis results in binucleation, which can lead to genomic instability. In human cultured cells, anillin stabilizes TCA-fixable species of RhoA at the equatorial cortex, but its exact mode of action and subsequent physiological effects have yet to be determined. In some cancers, high levels of septins are shown to out-compete importin binding, thereby promoting the retention of Anillin in the cytoplasm.
