Actin with tension is easy to conjoin with myosin-2: tension from outside of cell.

National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology Taro Uyeda

This is mycomycete cell where the gene encoding multiple nuclearized myosin is deleted. Most of cells are moving at a random. But, sometime, you can also observe special phenomena of traction-mediated cytofission in the mutant cells. In this case, many protein of GFP-mutant S1 are bound with cytoplasm due to traction from two destroyed cell fragments.
