Turning Platelets Off and On: Role of RhoGAPs and RhoGEFs in Platelet Activity
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 Platelet cytoskeletal reorganisation is a critical component of platelet activation and thrombus formation in haemostasis. The Rho GTPases RhoA, Rac1 and Cdc42 are the primary drivers in the dynamic reorganisation process, leading to the development of ...

GTP Binding Assays in Arabidopsis thaliana
Bio-Protocol, 2013 Signaling through G proteins constitutes an ancient mechanism that functions in the transduction of extracellular signals into intracellular responses. Activation of a proper receptor by a stimuli leads to an exchange of GDP for GTP, the activation of G ...

GTP-binding-defective ARL4D alters mitochondrial morphology and membrane potential. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 ARL4D, ARL4A, and ARL4C are closely related members of the ADP-ribosylation factor/ARF-like protein (ARF/ARL) family of GTPases. All three ARL4 proteins contain nuclear localization signals (NLSs) at their C-termini and are primarily found at the plasma ...

Involvement of a small GTP binding protein in HIV-1 release
Retrovirology, 2005 Background There is evidence suggesting that actin binding to HIV-1 encoded proteins, or even actin dynamics themselves, might play a key role in virus budding and/or release from the infected cell.

LRRK2 kinase activity is dependent on LRRK2 GTP binding capacity but independent of LRRK2 GTP binding. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Leucine rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is a Parkinson's disease (PD) gene that encodes a large multidomain protein including both a GTPase and a kinase domain.

Nucleotide binding switches the information flow in ras GTPases.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2011 The Ras superfamily comprises many guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) that are essential to intracellular signal transduction. The guanine nucleotide-dependent intrinsic flexibility patterns of five G proteins were investigated in atomic ...

eLife, 2023 Guanylate binding proteins (GBPs) are soluble dynamin-like proteins that undergo a conformational transition for GTP-controlled oligomerization and disrupt membranes of intracellular parasites to exert their function as part of the innate immune system ...

Studying GGDEF Domain in the Act: Minimize Conformational Frustration to Prevent Artefacts
Life, 2021 GGDEF-containing proteins respond to different environmental cues to finely modulate cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) levels in time and space, making the allosteric control a distinctive trait of the corresponding proteins.

This Is the End: Regulation of Rab7 Nucleotide Binding in Endolysosomal Trafficking and Autophagy
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2018 Rab7 – or in yeast, Ypt7p – governs membrane trafficking in the late endocytic and autophagic pathways. Rab7 also regulates mitochondrion-lysosome contacts, the sites of mitochondrial fission.

Structural Insights into How Yrb2p Accelerates the Assembly of the Xpo1p Nuclear Export Complex
Cell Reports, 2014 Proteins and ribonucleoproteins containing a nuclear export signal (NES) assemble with the exportin Xpo1p (yeast CRM1) and Gsp1p-GTP (yeast Ran-GTP) in the nucleus and exit through the nuclear pore complex.
