Movie 2

myo2-E1-Sup2 did not require the presence of non-essential type II myosin (Myp2) to complete cytokinesis at the non-permissive temperature.
Time-lapse movies of mid-log phase cells of 4 genotypes (wild-type, Δmyp2, myo2-E1 Δmyp2, myo2-E1-Sup2 Δmyp2) respectively. Images were acquired as described in Movie 1 and methods section. Scale bar 3μm.
