Abstract excerpt
Heterotrimeric guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding proteins (G proteins) determine tissue and cell polarity in a variety of organisms. In yeast, cells orient polarized growth toward the mating partner along a pheromone gradient by a mechanism that requires Far1p and Cdc24p. Far1p bound Gbetagamma and interacted with polarity establishment proteins, which organize the actin cytoskeleton. Cells containing mutated...
