Septins: cytoskeletal polymers or signalling GTPases?

Septins are a family of conserved proteins that have been implicated in a variety of cellular functions involving specialized regions of the cell cortex and changes in cell shape. The biochemistry and localization of septins suggest that they form a novel cytoskeletal system or that they function as scaffolds for the assembly of signalling complexes. This article discusses septin biochemistry and septin-interacting proteins, focusing on the missing link between the structure and biochemical properties of septin proteins, and on how they function at a molecular level in processes such as cytokinesis and yeast budding.[1]
