Vesicular transport is a dynamic process that requires coordinated int
eractions between membrane and cytoskeleton. The mechanisms and molecu
les integrating these interactions are unclear. A Rho protein, RhoD, m
ight provide a molecular link between membrane traffic and the cytoske
leton. Activated RhoD causes rearrangements of the actin cytoskeleton
and cell surface, and governs early endosome motility and distribution
.
