Morphogenesis: Multitalented GTPases Seeking New Jobs

Jessica K. Sawyer, Nathan J. Harris, Mark Peifer

Research output: Contribution to journal › Short survey › peer-review

Abstract

Since their discovery twenty years ago the GTPases Rac, Rho, and Cdc42 have become cellular superstars, with diverse roles in regulating actin, cell polarity and other functions. Several recent papers highlight their roles in morphogenesis, revealing surprising complexity.
