Abstract excerpt
Members of the Rho GTPase family play a central role in the orchestration of cytoskeletal rearrangements, which are of prime importance in endothelial cell physiology. To explore their role in this specialized cell type, we used the bacterial toxin cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1 (CNF1) as a Rho GTPase activator. Punctate filamentous actin structures appeared along the ventral plasma membrane of endothelial cells...
