Summary: Enables GTPase activity. Involved in several processes, including budding cell apical bud growth; budding cell isotropic bud growth; and invasive growth in response to glucose limitation. Acts upstream of or within nuclear membrane organization. Located in several cellular components, including cellular bud tip; fungal-type vacuole membrane; and incipient cellular bud site. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in fibrosarcoma. Orthologous to human CDC42 (cell division cycle 42). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Yeast daughter cells can polarize Cdc42 before CDK activation at start. This polarization operates via a positive feedback loop mediated by the Cdc42 effector Ste20.
Title: Cell-cycle control of cell polarity in yeast.
In yeast cells, Cdc42 polarization involves a positive feedback loop in which effectors called p21-activated kinases (PAKs) act to recruit a Cdc42-directed guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), generating more GTP-Cdc42 in areas that already have GTP-Cdc42. The GTPase-interacting components (GICs) Gic1 and Gic2 are also Cdc42 effectors, and have been implicated in regulation of the actin and septin cytoskeleton.
Title: A role for Gic1 and Gic2 in Cdc42 polarization at elevated temperature.
Using optogenetics, the authors probe yeast polarization and find that local recruitment of Cdc24 or Bem1 is sufficient to induce polarization by triggering self-sustaining Cdc42 activity.
Title: Cell cycle entry triggers a switch between two modes of Cdc42 activation during yeast polarization.
