Model depicting formin localization and functions centered on the phragmoplast during cytokinesis (Adapted from Figure 9 of Zhang et al., 2021). A) Formins function in F-actin nucleation by the cell plate; B) Microtubule elongation promoted through stabilization of tubulin protofilament at the growing plus-tip; C) Formins enable docking of the microtubule tip to the cell plate assembly matrix through interaction with END BINDING 1 (EB1) proteins; D) Formins localized within the CPAM and cell plate stabilizes microtubule plus-ends. E) A potential role in cell plate remodeling through an unknown mechanism. CPAM – Cell plate assembly matrix, DRP – Dynamin-related protein.
