CDC42 and Rac1 control different actin-dependent processes in the Drosophila wing disc epithelium.

The Journal of cell biology - 1 Oct 1995

Eaton S, Auvinen P, Luo L, Jan Y N, Simons K

Abstract excerpt

Cdc42 and Rac1 are members of the rho family of small guanosinetriphosphatases and are required for a diverse set of cytoskeleton-membrane interactions in different cell types. Here we show that these two proteins contribute differently to the organization of epithelial cells in the Drosophila wing imaginal disc. Drac1 is required to assemble actin at adherens junctions. Failure of adherens junction actin...
