Abstract excerpt
Rho family GTPases play a major role in actin cytoskeleton reorganization. Recent studies have shown that the activation of Rho family GTPases also induces collapse of the vimentin intermediate filament (IF) network in fibroblasts. Here, we report that Cdc42V12 induces the reorganization of vimentin IFs in Hela cells, and such reorganization is independent of actin and microtubule status. We analyzed the...
