Journal ArticleDOI

CellGeo: A computational platform for the analysis of shape changes in cells with complex geometries

TL;DR: The open source MATLAB application CellGeo is a user-friendly computational platform that allows simultaneous, automated tracking and analysis of dynamic changes in cell shape, including protrusions ranging from filopodia to lamellipodiato growth cones.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enabled Negatively Regulates Diaphanous-Driven Actin Dynamics In Vitro and In Vivo

TL;DR: It is found that Dia and Ena have distinct biochemical properties that contribute to the different protrusion morphologies each induces, and Acting together, Ena and Dia induce protrusions distinct from those induced by either alone, with Ena reducing Dia-driven protrusion length and number.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of competition between polarity sites in establishing a unique front

TL;DR: In this paper, a greedy competition between clusters to recruit and retain polarity proteins from a shared intracellular pool was studied in the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, where positive feedback can trigger growth of several Cdc42 clusters at the same time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Engineered kinase activation reveals unique morphodynamic phenotypes and associated trafficking for Src family isoforms

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Src family isoforms produce very different phenotypes, encompassing cell spreading, polarized motility, and production of long, thin cell extensions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell-cycle control of cell polarity in yeast.

TL;DR: It is reported that yeast daughter cells can polarize Cdc42 before CDK activation at start, and it is shown that G1 cyclin‐dependent kinase activity enables localization of a subset of CDC42 effectors to sites enriched for C dc42.
