Abstract excerpt
Rho/Rac of plant (ROP) GTPases are plant-specific proteins that function as molecular switches, activated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and inactivated by GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). The bryophyte Marchantia polymorpha contains single copies of ROP (MpROP), GEFs [ROPGEF and SPIKE (SPK)] and GAPs [ROPGAP and ROP ENHANCER (REN)]. MpROP regulates the development of various tissues and organs,...
