Abstract excerpt
The small guanine triphosphatase (GTPase) proteins RhoA and RhoC are essential for tumor invasion and/or metastasis in breast carcinomas. However, it is poorly understood how RhoA and RhoC are activated in breast cancer cells. Here we describe the role of myosin-interacting guanine nucleotide exchange factor (Myo-GEF) in regulating RhoA and RhoC activation as well as cell polarity and invasion in an invasive...
