Humans contain more than 20 Rho type GTPases. This volume not
only presents a detailed phylogenetic analysis of Rho proteins, but
also discusses the possible origins of the human members. Such an
analysis of human Rho GTPases has not previously been
attempted.
The book includes an overview of how Rho GTPases become
activated which is complemented by an extensive Chapter by Darerca
Owen and Helen Mott who unravel the beautiful molecular details
given to us by the many structural studies of Rho GTPases.
The key areas currently being investigated in relation to these
ubiquitous proteins are described for both in vitro and in vivo
systems. These are presented in a format that ensures the reader
can approach the topic with minimal background knowledge, while
ultimately bringing the subject to the level of an expert. Timely
and highly authoritative, this volume illuminates newer findings,
particularly as they relate to Rho proteins in vertebrate
biology.
