Rho GTPases: molecular switches that control the organization and dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton

Abstract

The actin cytoskeleton plays a fundamental role in all eukaryotic cells—it is a major determinant of cell morphology and polarity and the assembly and disassembly of filamentous actin structures provides a driving force for dynamic processes such as cell motility, phagocytosis, growth cone guidance and cytokinesis. The ability to reorganize actin filaments is a fundamental property of embryonic cells during development; the shape changes accompanying gastrulation and dorsal closure, for example, are dependent on the plasticity of the actin cytoskeleton, while the ability of cells or cell extensions, such as axons, to migrate within the developing embryo requires rapid and spatially organized changes to the actin cytoskeleton in response to the external environment. W ork in mammalian cells over the last decade has demonstrated the central role played by the highly conserved Rho family of small GTPases in signal transduction pathways that link plasma membrane receptors to the organization of the actin cytoskeleton.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
