Rho GTPases: regulation of cell polarity and growth in yeasts.
Eukaryotic cells display a wide range of morphologies important for cellular function and development. A particular cell shape is made via the generation of asymmetry in the organization of cytoskeletal elements, usually leading to actin localization at sites of growth. The Rho family of GTPases is present in all eukaryotic cells, from yeast to mammals, and their role as key regulators in the s...
متن کاملThe interdependence of the Rho GTPases and apicobasal cell polarity
Signaling via the Rho GTPases provides crucial regulation of numerous cell polarization events, including apicobasal (AB) polarity, polarized cell migration, polarized cell division and neuronal polarity. Here we review the relationships between the Rho family GTPases and epithelial AB polarization events, focusing on the 3 best-characterized members: Rho, Rac and Cdc42. We discuss a multitude ...
متن کاملRole of Rho Family Gtpases in Regulation of Cell Migration and Polarity
Cell migration is necessary for developmental morphogenesis, tissue repair and regeneration, and tumor metastasis. Directional cell migration is usually initiated in response to extracellular cues such as chemokine and signals from the extracellular matrix. A migrating cell is highly polarized with complex regulatory pathways downstream of various stimuli. Cell polarization includes the asymmet...
متن کاملRho GTPases Control Polarity, Protrusion, and Adhesion during Cell Movement
Cell movement is essential during embryogenesis to establish tissue patterns and to drive morphogenetic pathways and in the adult for tissue repair and to direct cells to sites of infection. Animal cells move by crawling and the driving force is derived primarily from the coordinated assembly and disassembly of actin filaments. The small GTPases, Rho, Rac, and Cdc42, regulate the organization o...
متن کاملIntegrin-mediated adhesion regulates cell polarity and membrane protrusion through the Rho family of GTPases.
Integrin-mediated adhesion is a critical regulator of cell migration. Here we demonstrate that integrin-mediated adhesion to high fibronectin concentrations induces a stop signal for cell migration by inhibiting cell polarization and protrusion. On fibronectin, the stop signal is generated through alpha 5 beta 1 integrin-mediated signaling to the Rho family of GTPases. Specifically, Cdc42 and R...
