+ indicates that a cytokinesis or lamellar phenotype was observed; - no phenotype was observed; NT, not tested. *Protein names (sometimes more than one alternative) are given in roman type and gene names in italics. In unpublished experiments, accumulation of actin and disruption of the cell monolayer was found with profilin RNAi and a cytokinesis phenotype was seen with zipper RNAi (A. Kiger, personal communication). Mitotic phenotypes were observed.
