Abstract excerpt
Ectopic expression of a constitutive active mutant of the GTPase Cdc42 (V12Cdc42) in vascular endothelial cells triggers the dissolution of stress fibres and focal adhesion contacts and causes the repolymerisation of actin into dots. Each punctate structure consists of an F-actin core surrounded by a vinculin ring, consistent with the definition of podosomes. We now report further analysis of these complexes and...
