Cdc42 - the centre of polarity [PDF]
All cell types polarize, at least transiently, during division or to generate specialized shapes and functions. This capacity extends from yeast to mammals, and it is now clear that many features of the molecular mechanisms controlling polarization are conserved in all eukaryotic cells.

Infantile Myelofibrosis and Myeloproliferation with CDC42 Dysfunction [PDF]
AbstractStudies of genetic blood disorders have advanced our understanding of the intrinsic regulation of hematopoiesis. However, such genetic studies have only yielded limited insights into how interactions between hematopoietic cells and their microenvironment are regulated.

Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor‐C (VEGF‐C) binds to receptor vascular endothelial growth factor receptor‐3 (VEGFR‐3) expressed on lymphatic endothelial and melanoma cells. Binding of VEGF‐C to VEGFR‐3 enhances receptor phosphorylation that activates mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAP‐K) and phosphatidylinositol‐3‐kinase (PI3K).

PTEN controls glandular morphogenesis through a juxtamembrane β-Arrestin1/ARHGAP21 scaffolding complex [PDF]
PTEN controls three-dimensional (3D) glandular morphogenesis by coupling juxtamembrane signalling to mitotic spindle machinery. While molecular mechanisms remain unclear, PTEN interacts through its C2 membrane-binding domain with the scaffold protein β ...

Abstract Metastatic disease is the leading cause of death in children suffering from medulloblastoma and a major treatment challenge. The evidence of leptomeningeal dissemination defines the most aggressive tumours and is associated with increased mortality; thus, inhibition of migration as a factor involved in the process of metastatic disease is ...

Novel regulation of mitotic exit by the Cdc42 effectors Gic1 and Gic2 [PDF]
Copyright @ The Rockefeller University PressThe guanine nucleotide exchange factor Cdc24, the GTPase Cdc42, and the Cdc42 effectors Cla4 and Ste20, two p21-activated kinases, form a signal transduction cascade that promotes mitotic exit in yeast.

Identification of the Region in Cdc42 That Confers the Binding Specificity to Activated Cdc42-associated Kinase [PDF]
The Rho family small G-protein Cdc42 has been implicated in a diversity of biological functions. Multiple downstream effectors have been identified. How Cdc42 discriminates the interaction with its multiple downstream effectors is not known. Activated Cdc42-associated tyrosine kinase (ACK) is a very specific effector of Cdc42.

Abstract The transformation biology of secondary acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) from myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) is still not fully understood. We performed paired self‐controlled sequencing, including targeted, whole exome, and single‐cell RNA sequencing, in a cohort of MDS patients to search for AML transformation‐related mutations (TRMs). Thirty‐

Energetic constraints on filament mediated cell polarization [PDF]
Cell polarization underlies many cellular processes, such as differentiation, migration, and budding. Many living cells, such as budding yeast and fission yeast, use cytoskeletal structures to actively transport proteins to one location on the membrane and create a high density spot of membrane-bound proteins.
