Dual positive and negative regulation of GPCR signaling by GTP hydrolysis [PDF]
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulate a variety of intracellular pathways through their ability to promote the binding of GTP to heterotrimeric G proteins. Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins increase the intrinsic GTPase activity of G-

The non-catalytic carboxyl-terminal domain of ARFGAP1 regulates actin cytoskeleton reorganization by antagonizing the activation of Rac1. [PDF]
The regulation of the actin cytoskeleton and membrane trafficking is coordinated in mammalian cells. One of the regulators of membrane traffic, the small GTP-binding protein ARF1, also activates phosphatidylinositol kinases that in turn affect actin ...

Small GTPases are the key to actin cytoskeleton signaling, which opens the lock of effector proteins to forward the signal downstream in several cellular pathways. Actin cytoskeleton assembly is associated with cell polarity, adhesion, movement and other

Interface analysis of small GTP binding protein complexes suggests preferred membrane orientations
Crystal structures of small GTP binding protein complexes with their effectors and regulators reveal that one particularly flat side of the G domain that contains helix α4 and the C-terminal helix α5 is practically devoid of contacts.

Specific Rab GTPase-activating proteins define the Shiga toxin and epidermal growth factor uptake pathways [PDF]
Rab family guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) together with their regulators define specific pathways of membrane traffic within eukaryotic cells. In this study, we have investigated which Rab GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) can interfere with the ...

Structural Insights into HypB, a GTP-binding Protein That Regulates Metal Binding [PDF]
HypB is a prokaryotic metal-binding guanine nucleotide-binding protein that is essential for nickel incorporation into hydrogenases. Here we solved the x-ray structure of HypB from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii. It shows that the G-domain has a different topology than the Ras-like proteins and belongs to the SIMIBI (after Signal Recognition Particle ...

In the crenarchaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, the archaellum, a type-IV pilus like motility structure, is synthesized in response to nutrient starvation. Synthesis of components of the archaellum is controlled by the archaellum regulatory network (arn).

Thermodynamic bounds on the ultra- and infra-affinity of Hsp70 for its substrates [PDF]
The 70 kDa Heat Shock Proteins Hsp70 have several essential functions in living systems, such as protecting cells against protein aggregation, assisting protein folding, remodeling protein complexes and driving the translocation into organelles.
