Abstract excerpt
The Rheb GTPase is most similar in primary sequence to the Ras, Rap, R-Ras, and Ral GTPases, which regulate cell growth and differentiation in many cell types. A likely fission yeast homologue of mammalian Rheb, which we designated Rhb1, was identified by genome sequencing. Our investigation of rhb1 showed that rhb1(-) cells arrested cell growth and division with a terminal phenotype similar to that of...
