Rac and Cdc42 Induce Actin Polymerization and G1 Cell Cycle Progression Independently of p65PAK and the JNK/SAPK MAP Kinase Cascade

TL;DR: It is concluded that Rac and Cdc42 control MAP kinase pathways and actin cytoskeleton organization independently through distinct downstream targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gaining confidence in high-throughput protein interaction networks

TL;DR: A logistic regression approach is presented that uses statistical and topological descriptors to predict the biological relevance of protein-protein interactions obtained from high-throughput screens for yeast, and other sources of information are used to validate the model predictions without bias or cross-pollution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic control of bud site selection in yeast by a set of gene products that constitute a morphogenetic pathway.

TL;DR: Four genes, BUD1-BUD4, necessary for the axial pattern are identified by isolating mutants of alpha cells that do not exhibit this pattern, indicating the existence of a basal budding pattern, requiring no BUD products, that is random.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of the polarization of T cells toward antigen-presenting cells by Ras-related GTPase CDC42

TL;DR: It is shown that, in T cells, the mammalian Ras-related GTPase CDC42 can regulate the polarization of both actin and microtubules toward antigen-presenting cells but is not involved in other T-cell signaling processes such as those which culminate in interleukin 2 production.
