Article Synopsis
- Rho GTPases, like Rac and Cdc42, help cells grow and shape themselves by affecting their polarity, which is how they organize inside.
- In some tiny organisms, like fungi, Cdc42 helps produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a way that is different from how it happens in bigger organisms.
- Researchers found that Cdc42 is necessary for the yeast Candida albicans to create ROS during its growth into a filament shape, and this process is controlled in a unique way that doesn't involve large protein complexes present in more complex organisms.
