Fission Yeast Polarization: Modeling Cdc42 Oscillations, Symmetry Breaking, and Zones of Activation and Inhibition

Fission Yeast Polarization: Modeling Cdc42 Oscillations, Symmetry Breaking, and Zones of Activation and Inhibition

Cells polarize for growth, motion, or mating through regulation of membrane-bound small GTPases between active GTP-bound and inactive GDP-bound forms. Activators (GEFs, GTP exchange factors) and inhibitors (GAPs, GTPase activating proteins) provide positive and negative feedbacks. We show that a rea...
