Abstract excerpt
Rho-like GTPases control a wide range of cellular functions such as integrin- and cadherin-mediated adhesion, cell motility, and gene expression. The hypervariable C-terminal domain of these GTPases has been implicated in membrane association and effector binding. We found that cell-permeable peptides, encoding the C termini of Rac1, Rac2, RhoA, and Cdc42, interfere with GTPase signaling in a specific fashion in...
