The Ran pathway uniquely regulates cytokinesis in cells with different fates in the early C. elegans embryo

Cytokinesis occurs at the end of mitosis and occurs due to the ingression of a contractile ring that cleaves the daughter cells. This process is tightly controlled to prevent cell fate changes or aneuploidy, and the core machinery is highly conserved among metazoans. Multiple mechanisms regulate cytokinesis, but their requirement in different cell types is not known. Here, we show that differently fated AB and P1 cells in the early C. elegans embryo have unique cytokinesis kinetics supported by distinct levels and cortical patterning of myosin. Through perturbation of polarity regulators and the generation of stable tetraploid strains, we demonstrate that these differences depend on both cell fate and size. Additionally, these parameters could influence the Ran pathway, which coordinates the contractile ring with chromatin position, and controls cytokinesis differently in AB and P1 cells. Our findings demonstrate the need to consider multiple parameters when modeling ring kinetics.
