Hijacking the endocytic machinery by microbial pathogens.

abstract：:While there is a number of studies on the effects of Rho GTPases on the actin-based cytoskeleton in higher eukaryotes, studies in protozoans are rather limited. The problem seems to be intriguing since the structure of protozoan cytoskeletons is distinct from most vertebrate cells. By blocking endogenous Rho family pr...
