ARF: the most misunderstood GTPase I ever knew - why study ARF GAPs [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular BiosciencesADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) are GTP-binding proteins that were discovered in the early 1980s, shortly after heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) and nearly simultaneously with RAS.

Characterization of the GTPγS release function of a G protein-coupled receptor [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsG protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling is one of the most ubiquitous and sensitive forms of cell surface reception. GPCRs stabilize the nucleotide-free state of heterotrimeric guanine-nucleotide binding proteins (G proteins); however, this state is ...

Tissue‐specific expression differences in Ras‐related GTP‐binding proteins in male rats [PDF]
Physiological ReportsThe protein kinase Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) in Complex 1 (mTORC1) is regulated in part by the Ras‐related GTP‐binding proteins (Rag GTPases).

A mant-GDP Dissociation Assay to Compare the Guanine Nucleotide Binding Preference of Small GTPases
Bio-Protocol, 2021 Small GTPases are cellular switches that are switched on when bound to GTP and switched off when bound to GDP. Different small GTPase proteins or those with mutations may bind to GTP or GDP with different relative affinities.

Gαs slow conformational transition upon GTP binding and a novel Gαs regulator
iScience, 2023 Summary: G proteins are major signaling partners for G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Although stepwise structural changes during GPCR–G protein complex formation and guanosine diphosphate (GDP) release have been reported, no information is available

Molecular modeling study for interaction between Bacillus subtilis Obg and Nucleotides. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The bacterial Obg proteins (Spo0B-associated GTP-binding protein) belong to the subfamily of P-loop GTPase proteins that contain two equally and highly conserved domains, a C-terminal GTP binding domain and an N-terminal glycine-rich domain which is ...

Interaction of GTP‐binding proteins with calmodulin [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1986 Two GTP‐binding proteins (Gi and Go), which were the substrates for islet‐activating protein, pertussis toxin, were purified from bovine cerebral cortical membranes. Both Gi and Go completely inhibited calmodulin‐stimulated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity. The same concentrations of these proteins, however, had no appreciable effect on the

The speed of GTP hydrolysis determines GTP cap size and controls microtubule stability
eLife, 2020 Microtubules are cytoskeletal polymers whose function depends on their property to switch between states of growth and shrinkage. Growing microtubules are thought to be stabilized by a GTP cap at their ends.

PH Domain-Arf G Protein Interactions Localize the Arf-GEF Steppke for Cleavage Furrow Regulation in Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The recruitment of GDP/GTP exchange factors (GEFs) to specific subcellular sites dictates where they activate small G proteins for the regulation of various cellular processes.
