The Intrinsic GDP/GTP Exchange Activities of Cdc42 and Rac1 Are Critical Determinants for Their Specific Effects on Mobilization of the Actin Filament System
The Rho GTPases comprise a subfamily of the Ras superfamily of small GTPases. Their importance in regulation of cell morphology and cell migration is well characterized. According to the prevailing paradigm, Cdc42 regulates the formation of filopodia, Rac1 regulates the formation of lamellipodia, an...
