Interaction Between Actin and Microtubules During Plant Development
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The dynamic interaction between actin filaments (AFs) and microtubules (MTs) plays a crucial role in regulating key developmental and physiological processes in plant cells, particularly in the formation of specialized cell types with distinct shapes and functions, such as pollen tubes, trichomes, and leaf epidermal cells.

Loss of RhoB expression enhances the myelodysplastic phenotype of mammalian diaphanous-related Formin mDia1 knockout mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis and hyperplastic bone marrow. Complete loss or interstitial deletions of the long arm of chromosome 5 occur frequently in MDS.

ARC Expands the DAAM1 Microexon‐Mediated Actin–RHOA/ROCK Interplay
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Actin cytoskeleton and its dynamics play a crucial role in synaptic function, influencing dendritic spines' structural and functional plasticity. Recent findings unveiled the significance of alternative splicing of a neural‐specific microexon in DAAM1 in modulating actin's role in synaptic processes.

The role of Rho GTPases in facial morphogenesis
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.The role of small GTPases, RHOA, RAC1, and CDC42 and pathway mediators is reviewed in the context of embryonic facial development. Lip fusion requires cytoskeletal remodeling during morphogenesis of the facial processes and during lip fusion. Fnm, frontonasal mass; lnp, lateral nasal process; mnp, medial nasal process; mxp, maxillary process; np, nasal

Interaction of G protein Gβγ dimers with small GTP‐binding proteins of the Rho family
FEBS Letters, 1996 Gβγ dimers of heterotrimeric G proteins have been shown to be important for the translocation of cytosolic proteins to membranes. The involvement of Gβγ in those signaling processes mediated by small GTP‐binding proteins of the Rho family was studied using purified proteins.
