DRhoGEF2 regulates actin organization and contractility in the Drosophila blastoderm embryo.

The Journal of cell biology - 14 Feb 2005

Padash Barmchi Mojgan, Rogers Stephen, Häcker Udo

Abstract excerpt

Morphogenesis of the Drosophila melanogaster embryo is associated with a dynamic reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton that is mediated by small GTPases of the Rho family. Often, Rho1 controls different aspects of cytoskeletal function in parallel, requiring a complex level of regulation. We show that the guanine triphosphate (GTP) exchange factor DRhoGEF2 is apically localized in epithelial cells throughout...
