Outline of Final Research Achievements	All cells need to divide for an increase in its number. Cancer or bacteria that get worse by increasing in cell numbers also do it. If we can control it, we will suppress these diseases. But the mechanisms of cell division still remain largely unknown. We tried to find new cell division regulating proteins and finally we focused LUZP1 that function is unknown. In this research, we revealed that LUZP1 regulates cytokinesis that is the last step of cell division and may bridge the important two signal pathways during cell division.
