Abstract excerpt
The small GTPase Rho1 plays an essential role in controlling the organization of the actin cytoskeleton and synthesis of the cell wall in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Here we studied the role of Rho5 whose primary structure is very similar to that of Rho1. It was found that elevated expression of Rho5 was able to compensate for the lethality of cells lacking Rho1. Rho5 was localized to the ends of...
