Establishment of cell polarity in animal and fungal cells involves localization
of the conserved Rho-family guanosine triphosphatase, Cdc42, to the cortical
region destined to become the "front" of the cell. The high local concentration
of active Cdc42 promotes cytoskeletal polarization through various effectors.
Cdc42 accumulation at the front is thought to involve positive feedback, and
studies in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have suggested distinct
positive feedback mechanisms. One class of mechanisms involves localized
activation of Cdc42 at the front, whereas another class involves localized
delivery of Cdc42 to the front. Here we show that Cdc42 activation must be
localized for successful polarity establishment, supporting local activation
rather than local delivery as the dominant mechanism in this system.
