Abscission marks the last step of cytokinesis and gives rise to two physically separated daughter cells and a midbody remnant. This work studies abscission by examining the extent of the abscission failure in C. elegans septin and ESCRT mutants with the help of the ZF1-degradation technique. The ZF1 technique is also applied to discern a possible role for PI3K during abscission. Lastly, we test the role of proteins required for macroautophagy but not for LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP) and show that after release into the extracellular space, the midbody is resolved via LAP.
