Cdc42 regulation of polarized traffic in fission yeast
Cdc42 is a key factor in the control of cell polarity and morphogenesis. Fission yeast Cdc42 regulates formin activation and actin cable assembly. Cdc42 is also required for exocyst function, contributing to polarized secretion. Additionally, Cdc42 participates in membrane trafficking, endosome recy...

| Sumario: | Cdc42 is a key factor in the control of cell polarity and morphogenesis. Fission yeast Cdc42 regulates formin activation and actin cable assembly. Cdc42 is also required for exocyst function, contributing to polarized secretion. Additionally, Cdc42 participates in membrane trafficking, endosome recycling, and vacuole formation. We show here how Cdc42 is required for the correct transport/recycling to the plasma membrane of the glucan synthases Bgs1 and Bgs4, responsible of cell wall biosynthesis and polarized growth at the cell tips. |
