A cell cycle process that results in the division of the cytoplasm of a cell after mitosis, resulting in the separation of the original cell into two daughter cells.

The maintenance of established anisotropic intracellular organization or cell growth patterns.

Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of protein kinase activity.

A process in which a protein is transported to, or maintained at, a location within a cellular bud neck.

The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of septins and associated proteins to form an organized structure resembling a ring at the cell cortex.

A ring-shaped structure that forms at the site of cytokinesis in the bud neck of a budding cell; composed of members of the conserved family of filament forming proteins called septins as well as septin-associated proteins. In S. cerevisiae, this structure forms at the time of bud emergence and the septins show a high rate of exchange.

The region where the mating projection meets the bulk of the cell, in unicellular fungi exposed to mating pheromone.

The specialized cell wall of the ascospore (spore), which is the product of meiotic division. Examples of this component are found in Fungi.

The prospore membrane is a double-membraned structure that extends from the cytoplasmic face of the spindle pole bodies to encompass the spindle pole bodies and the four nuclear lobes that are formed during meiosis. It helps isolate the meiotic nuclei from the cytoplasm during spore formation and serves as a foundation for the formation of the spore walls. An example of this component is found in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Any microtubule that is part of a mitotic or meiotic spindle; anchored at one spindle pole.

Any microtubule in the cytoplasm of a cell.

The constriction between the mother cell and daughter cell (bud) in an organism that reproduces by budding.

A protein complex containing septins. Typically, these complexes contain multiple septins and are oligomeric.

A protein complex containing septins. Typically, these complexes contain multiple septins and are oligomeric.

Arrays of septin filaments, or bars, found in a series of filamentous structures. Such structures have been observed in the prospore membrane during spore formation in S. cerevisiae and in the chlamydospore membrane during chlamydospore formation in C. albicans.

The apex of the mating projection in unicellular fungi exposed to mating pheromone; site of polarized growth.

A spindle that forms as part of meiosis. Several proteins, such as budding yeast Spo21p, fission yeast Spo2 and Spo13, and C. elegans mei-1, localize specifically to the meiotic spindle and are absent from the mitotic spindle.

All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.

The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.

A heterooligomeric septin complex that acts during mitotic cell division.

The eventual plane of cell division (also known as cell cleavage or cytokinesis) in a dividing cell. In Eukaryotes, the cleavage apparatus, composed of septin structures and the actomyosin contractile ring, forms along this plane, and the mitotic, or meiotic, spindle is aligned perpendicular to the division plane. In bacteria, the cell division site is generally located at mid-cell and is the site at which the cytoskeletal structure, the Z-ring, assembles.

A ring-shaped structure that forms at the medial cortex of a symmetrically dividing cell at the onset of cytokinesis; composed of members of the conserved family of filament forming proteins called septins as well as septin-associated proteins.

The region of the actomyosin ring adjacent to the plasma membrane where membrane bound scaffolds are located.
