The speed of GTP hydrolysis determines GTP cap size and controls microtubule stability [PDF]
Microtubules are bistable cytoskeletal polymers whose function depends on their property to switch between states of growth and shrinkage 1. Growing microtubules are thought to be stabilized by a GTP cap at their ends 2-5. The nature of this cap, however,

GTP: Gatekeeper for Autophagy [PDF]
Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is involved in cellular quality control, and in the response to stress, deterioration in CMA contributes to the aging phenotype and to various disorders. The paper by Bandyopadhyay et al. in this issue of Molecular Cell demonstrates the role of GTP binding by elongation factor 1 alpha (EF1alpha) in regulating the ...

Because of the apparently greater conformational flexibility of yeast versus muscle actin and the ability of other members in the actin protein superfamily to efficiently use both ATP and GTP, we assessed the ability of yeast actin to function with GTP.

Synthesis and Effect of Conformationally Locked Carbocyclic Guanine Nucleotides on Dynamin
Guanine nucleotides can flip between a North and South conformation in the ribose moiety. To test the enzymatic activity of GTPases bound to nucleotides in the two conformations, we generated methanocarba guanine nucleotides in the North or South ...

Kinetic analysis of GTP hydrolysis catalysed by the Arf1-GTP-ASAP1 complex [PDF]
Arf (ADP-ribosylation factor) GAPs (GTPase-activating proteins) are enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of GTP bound to the small GTP-binding protein Arf. They have also been proposed to function as Arf effectors and oncogenes. We have set out to characterize the kinetics of the GAP-induced GTP hydrolysis using a truncated form of ASAP1 [Arf GAP with ...

RalA and RalB Function as the Critical GTP Sensors for GTP-Dependent Exocytosis [PDF]
Although it has been established that the activation of GTPases by non-hydrolyzable GTP stimulates neurotransmitter release from many different secretory cell types, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study we aimed to elucidate the functional role(s) for endogenous Ras-like protein A (RalA) and RalB GTPases in GTP-dependent ...

GTP cyclohydrolase I utilizes metal‐free GTP as its substrate [PDF]
GTP cyclohydrolase I (GCH) is the rate‐limiting enzyme for the synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin and its activity is important in the regulation of monoamine neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin. We have studied the action of divalent cations on the enzyme activity of purified recombinant human GCH expressed in Escherichia ...

Probiotic shelf life, antioxidant, sensory, physical and chemical properties of yogurts produced with lactobacillus acidophilus and green tea powder [PDF]
The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of the addition of green tea powder (GTP) in the production of yogurt on survival of Lactobacillus acidophilus (P) and the yogurt properties. Four yogurt groups (yogurt without P and GTP, Control,
