CDC42 regulates PYRIN inflammasome assembly [PDF]

open access: yesCell Reports, 2022
The PYRIN inflammasome pathway is part of the innate immune response against invading pathogens. Unprovoked continuous activation of the PYRIN inflammasome drives autoinflammation and underlies several autoinflammatory diseases, including familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) syndrome.

Regulation of neurogenesis by Fgf8a requires Cdc42 signaling and a novel Cdc42 effector protein

open access: yesDevelopmental Biology, 2013
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling is required for numerous aspects of neural development, including neural induction, CNS patterning and neurogenesis. The ability of FGFs to activate Ras/MAPK signaling is thought to be critical for these functions.

Cell Division Control Protein 42 Interacts With Hepatitis E Virus Capsid Protein and Participates in Hepatitis E Virus Infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) causes viral hepatitis in humans worldwide, while a subset of HEV species, avian HEV, causes hepatitis-splenomegaly syndrome in chickens.

Complex polarity: building multicellular tissues through apical membrane traffic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The formation of distinct subdomains of the cell surface is crucial for multicellular organism development. The most striking example of this is apical-basal polarization.

Essential role of Cdc42 in Ras-induced transformation revealed by gene targeting. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The ras proto-oncogene is one of the most frequently mutated genes in human cancer. However, given the prevalence of activating mutations in Ras and its association with aggressive forms of cancer, attempts to therapeutically target aberrant Ras ...

Spots, strips, and spiral waves in models for static and motile cells [PDF]

open access: yesJ. Math. Biol. 82, 28 (2021), 2019
The polarization and motility of eukaryotic cells depends on assembly and contraction of the actin cytoskeleton and its regulation by proteins called GTPases. The activity of GTPases causes assembly of filamentous actin (by GTPases Cdc42, Rac), resulting in protrusion of the cell edge.

Coping with loss: cell adaptation to cytoskeleton disruption [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Unravelling the role of cytoskeleton regulators may be complicated by adaptations to experimental manipulations. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Cerikan et al.

Cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion in survival and metastasis: Stat3 versus Akt

open access: yesBiomolecular Concepts, 2015
Both cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion are important for epithelial cell differentiation and function. Classical cadherins mediate cell to cell interactions and are potent activators of the signal transducer and activator of transcription (Stat3 ...

CDC42-mediated Wnt signaling facilitates odontogenic differentiation of DPCs during tooth root elongation

open access: yesStem Cell Research & Therapy, 2023
Background CDC42 is a member of Rho GTPase family, acting as a molecular switch to regulate cytoskeleton organization and junction maturation of epithelium in organ development.

Rho GTPases and their downstream effectors in megakaryocyte biology

open access: yesPlatelets, 2019
Megakaryocytes differentiate from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. The transition of megakaryocytes to platelets is a complex process. Thereby, megakaryocytes extend proplatelets into sinusoidal blood vessels, where the proplatelets undergo ...
