A novel member of the rho family of small GTP-binding proteins is specifically required for cytokinesis.

The Journal of cell biology - 1 Jun 1996

Abstract excerpt

Several members of the rho/rac family of small GTP-binding proteins are known to regulate the distribution of the actin cytoskeleton in various subcellular processes. We describe here a novel rac protein, racE, which is specifically required for cytokinesis, an actomyosin-mediated process. The ra...
