Ras proteins modulate key cellular signalling pathways and drive excessive proliferation when mutated in cancer. However, they also influence actin cytoskeleton organisation. In the model organism Dictyostelium, domains of active Ras pattern the plasma membrane and locally reorganise the actin corte …
In developing epithelia, cells become planar polarised through asymmetric localisation of the core planar polarity proteins to opposite cell membranes, where they form stable intercellular complexes. Current models differ regarding the signalling mechanisms required for core protein polarisation. He …
