Actin accumulates around midbodies prior to internalization. Time-lapse movie showing the accumulation of actin around the P0 midbody (arrowhead) prior to its internalization in a strain expressing reporters for non-muscle myosin (NMY-2::GFP) to label midbodies (yellow) and LifeAct::RFP to label F-actin (cyan). The right panel shows actin alone. Time-lapse data were collected during the 4-cell stage every 20 seconds for 10 minutes (5 fps). 3 Zs are projected (Z interval 1.2 μm).

C. elegans midbodies are released, phagocytosed and undergo LC3-dependent degradation independent of macroautophagy
