Septins are conserved from yeast to mammals, but their functions are far better understood
in yeast than in animal cells. This is in part due to the powerful genetic approaches that can …

Septins embrace a large family of proteins highly conserved among eukaryotic species.
They were originally identified in budding yeast in the early 1970s as proteins essential for …

A range of stimuli have led to the growth in interest in septin biology. Elsewhere in this
monograph compelling evidence for the diverse and complex roles of septin proteins in key …

Septins provides established septin and molecular and developmental biologists and
researchers new to the field with proven, state-of-art techniques and relevant historical …

Septins are a family of proteins highly conserved in eukaryotes that have been under
intense scrutiny lately because they appear to comprise a novel component of the …

Septins are a cytosolic GTP-binding protein family first characterized in yeast, but gaining
increasing recognition as critical protagonists in higher eukaryotic cellular events …

Septins are an evolutionarily conserved group of GTP‐binding and filament‐forming
proteins that belong to the large superclass of P‐loop GTPases. While originally discovered …

Septin GTP-binding proteins contribute essential biological functions that range from the
establishment of cell polarity to animal tissue morphogenesis. Human septins in cells form …

Septins are members of a conserved family of cytoskeletal GTPases present in organisms as
diverse as yeast and mammals. Unlike lower eukaryotic cells, the physiological significance …

The roles of mammalian septins other than mitosis/cytokinesis have been speculated upon
because of their structural diversity and paradoxical abundance in post-mitotic cells. Mouse …
