Identification of a mitotic Rac-GEF, Trio, that counteracts MgcRacGAP function during cytokinesis.

abstract：:Candida albicans, the major human fungal pathogen, undergoes a reversible morphological transition from blastospores (round budding cells) to filaments (elongated cells attached end-to-end). This transition, which is induced upon exposure of C. albicans cells to a number of host conditions, including serum and body te...

abstract：:Biochemical data have shown that COPI-coated vesicles are tethered to Golgi membranes by a complex of at least three proteins: p115, giantin, and GM130. p115 binds to giantin on the vesicles and to GM130 on the membrane. We now examine the function of this tethering complex in vivo. Microinjection of an N-terminal pep...
