Cell polarity: connecting to the cortex

Curr Biol. 2001 Aug 7;11(15):R610-2. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(01)00365-7.

Abstract

A GTPase module controls growth-site selection in budding yeast cells. The GDP--GTP exchange factor of this module, Bud5, has now been localized to sites of cell division and shown to interact with a transmembrane protein that marks these sites.
