Abstract excerpt
Receptor-mediated cell polarization via heterotrimeric G-proteins induces cytoskeletal rearrangements in a variety of organisms. In yeast, Far1p is required for orienting cell growth towards the mating partner by linking activated Gbetagamma to the guanine-nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) Cdc24p, which activates the Rho-type GTPase Cdc42p. Here we investigated the role of Far1p in the regulation of Cdc24p in...
