Summary of Rho family GTPase accumulation in wildtype and various backgrounds in response to cell wounds

  Rho Accumulation
Rac Accumulation
Cdc42 Accumulation
Genotype   Xenopusa Drosophilab Xenopusa Drosophilab Xenopusa Drosophilab
WT   Array of active RhoA in ring; interior to and no overlap with active Cdc42 array Array of Rho1 in ring; partially interior to Cdc42 and Rac arrays; Array of active Rho1 at innermost part of Rho1 ring ND Array of Rac in ring & halo; overlapping with Cdc42 array at ring; partial overlap with Rho1 at inner ring edge Array of active Cdc42 in ring; exterior to and no overlap with RhoA array Array of Cdc42 in ring; overlapping with Rac at outer ring edge; partial overlap with Rho1 at inner ring edge
Inhibitors/Mutants c
