摘要: The symmetry-breaking event during polarization of C. elegans embryos is an asymmetric rearrangement the acto-myosin network, which dictates cell polarity through differential recruitment PAR proteins. sperm-supplied centrosomes are required to initiate this cortical reorganization. Several questions about remain unanswered: how network regulated and does reorganization lead protein distribution? As we discuss, recent studies show that use two GTPases, RHO-1 CDC-42, regulate these steps in establishment. Although CDC-42 control distinct aspects polarization, they function interdependently establishment embryos.
