A novel selection regime for differentiation defects demonstrates an essential role for the stumpy form in the life cycle of the African trypanosome.

abstract：:Low molecular weight (LMW) GTP-binding proteins are hypothesized to play a role in the vectorial transport of intracellular vesicles. Mutational studies in yeast and subcellular localization in mammalian cells suggest that a family of LMW GTP-binding proteins, termed rab, target intracellular vesicles to their appropr...
