A novel disorder involving dyshematopoiesis, inflammation, and HLH due to aberrant CDC42 function
Lam et al. characterize a novel hematological/autoinflammatory disorder due to a de novo recurrent missense mutation of CDC42. The authors use in silico, in vitro, and in vivo analyses to correlate the molecular mechanisms altering CDC42 function to the ...

Cdc42 Promotes Axonogenesis of Primary Hippocampal Neurons by Inhibiting Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3β
Background: Progressive axon degeneration is a common pathological feature of neurodegenerative diseases. Cdc42 is a member of the Rho GTPase family that participates in axonogenesis.

Exosomes containing HIV protein Nef reorganize lipid rafts potentiating inflammatory response in bystander cells. [PDF]
HIV infection has a profound effect on "bystander" cells causing metabolic co-morbidities. This may be mediated by exosomes secreted by HIV-infected cells and containing viral factors.

GTPase-Activating Proteins for Cdc42 [PDF]
ABSTRACT The Rho-type GTPase, Cdc42, has been implicated in a variety of functions in the yeast life cycle, including septin organization for cytokinesis, pheromone response, and haploid invasive growth. A group of proteins called GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) catalyze the hydrolysis of GTP to GDP, thereby inactivating Cdc42.

Coxiella burnetii Phagocytosis Is Regulated by GTPases of the Rho Family and the RhoA Effectors mDia1 and ROCK [PDF]
The GTPases belonging to the Rho family control the actin cytoskeleton rearrangements needed for particle internalization during phagocytosis. ROCK and mDia1 are downstream effectors of RhoA, a GTPase involved in that process.

Regulation of polarised growth in fungi [PDF]
Polarised growth in fungi occurs through the delivery of secretory vesicles along tracks formed by cytoskeletal elements to specific sites on the cell surface where they dock with a multiprotein structure called the exocyst before fusing with the ...

Regulation of Cdc42 and its effectors in epithelial morphogenesis
Cdc42 – a member of the small Rho GTPase family – regulates cell polarity across organisms from yeast to humans. It is an essential regulator of polarized morphogenesis in epithelial cells, through coordination of apical membrane morphogenesis, lumen ...

Cdc42 Effector Protein 3 Interacts With Cdc42 in Regulating Xenopus Somite Segmentation [PDF]
Somitogenesis is a critical process during vertebrate development that establishes the segmented body plan and gives rise to the vertebra, skeletal muscles, and dermis. While segmentation clock and wave front mechanisms have been elucidated to control the size and time of somite formation, regulation of the segmentation process that physically ...

Mechanisms involved in the regulation of neuropeptide-mediated neurite outgrowth: a minireview
The present knowledge, regarding the neuronal growth and neurite extension, includes neuropeptide action in the central nervous system. Research reports have brought much information about the multiple intracellular signaling pathways of neuropeptides ...

Mitosis can drive cell cannibalism through entosis
Entosis is a form of epithelial cell cannibalism that is prevalent in human cancer, typically triggered by loss of matrix adhesion. Here, we report an alternative mechanism for entosis in human epithelial cells, driven by mitosis.
