High impact information on rho4

  • RESULTS: Gene disruption revealed that rho4+ is not essential for cell growth [1].
  • However, rho4-null cells were abnormally elongated and had multiple septa of irregular shape at 37 degrees C. In these cells, F-actin patches were randomly localized all over the cell periphery, and cytoplasmic microtubules (MTs) were misoriented [1].
  • Several lines of evidence indicate that both rho4(+) deletion or rho4(+) overexpression result in a defective cell wall, suggesting an additional role for Rho4 in cell wall integrity [2].
