Abstract

This entry includes protein furry (fry) from animals, Tao3 (also known as Pag1) from budding yeasts and Mor2 from fission yeasts. Protein furry is involved in the Trc/fry signaling pathway and plays a key role in maintaining the integrity of polarized cell extensions (arista) during morphogenesis [ 1 ]. Tao3 is part of the the RAM signaling network involved in regulation of cellular morphogenesis [ 2 ]. Mor2 is also involved in the cell morphogenesis [ 3 ].
