Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Members of the Rho GTPase family mediate changes in the actin cytoskeleton and are also implicated in developmental processes, including myogenesis. Nevertheless, a comprehensive analysis of these proteins during myofibrillogenesis has never been performed in any organism. RESULTS: Using the ascidian model to identify the role of Rho GTPases on myofibrillogenesis, we show that transcripts...
