Interaction between chromium GTP and tubulin. Stereochemistry of GTP binding, GTP hydrolysis, and microtubule stabilization

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1991
Chromium GTP (CrGTP) has been used to probe the stereochemistry of metal-GTP binding to exchangeable site of tubulin and to examine the fate and role of nucleotide-bound metal ion in GTP hydrolysis associated with microtubule assembly. The absolute stereoconfiguration of the two pairs of diastereomers of beta,gamma-bidentate CrGTP has been determined ...

An intermolecular G-quadruplex as the basis for GTP recognition in the class V–GTP aptamer [PDF]

open access: yesRNA, 2016
Many naturally occurring or artificially created RNAs are capable of binding to guanine or guanine derivatives with high affinity and selectivity. They bind their ligands using very different recognition modes involving a diverse set of hydrogen bonding and stacking interactions.

Crystallographic Evidence for Substrate-Assisted GTP Hydrolysis by a Small GTP Binding Protein [PDF]

open access: yesStructure, 2005
GTP hydrolysis by small GTP binding proteins of the Ras superfamily is a universal reaction that controls multiple cellular regulations. Its enzymic mechanism has been the subject of long-standing debates as to the existence/identity of the general base and the electronic nature of its transition state.

KRAS G13D sensitivity to neurofibromin-mediated GTP hydrolysis

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance The protooncogene KRAS, a GTPase, is responsible for activating the MAPK pathway. Cancer mutations at codons 12, 13, or 61 are thought to stabilize KRAS-GTP primarily by preventing GAP protein-stimulated GTP hydrolysis, thereby stabilizing ...

Severing enzymes amplify microtubule arrays through lattice GTP-tubulin incorporation

open access: yesScience, 2018
Severing to build microtubules Microtubules are essential intracellular polymers, built from tubulin subunits, that establish cell shape, move organelles, and segregate chromosomes during cell division. Vemu et al.

Going in GTP cycles in the nucleolus [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 2005
Proteins are directed to cellular compartments by specific localization signals. A GTP-driven cycle has now been identified as a mechanism for protein targeting to the nucleolus. The involvement of a GTP switch suggests that nucleolar localization can be regulated and may be responsive to extracellular stimuli via signaling pathways.

Invited review: Mechanisms of GTP hydrolysis and conformational transitions in the dynamin superfamily

open access: yesBiopolymers, 2016
Dynamin superfamily proteins are multidomain mechano‐chemical GTPases which are implicated in nucleotide‐dependent membrane remodeling events. A prominent feature of these proteins is their assembly‐ stimulated mechanism of GTP hydrolysis.

Internally ratiometric fluorescent sensors for evaluation of intracellular GTP levels and distribution

open access: yesNature Methods, 2017
GTP is a major regulator of multiple cellular processes, but tools for quantitative evaluation of GTP levels in live cells have not been available. We report the development and characterization of genetically encoded GTP sensors, which we constructed by

Conversion of GDP into GTP by nucleoside diphosphate kinase on the GTP-binding proteins.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1990
A direct interaction of alpha beta gamma trimeric GTP binding proteins (G proteins; G0 and Gs) with nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDP kinase) was investigated with homogeneously purified proteins. There was a progressive release of 32Pi from [gamma-32P]ATP when GDP-bound G0 was incubated together with NDP kinase.

A GTP signal to the nucleolus

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 2005
![Graphic][1] Localization of nucleostemin to the nucleolus (top) is controlled by a GTP switch.Nucleolar size and cell growth rate are positively correlated, perhaps based on ribosome biogenesis being localized to the nucleolus, but little is known about how nucleolar size ...
