Ras undergoes interconversion between the active GTP-bound state and the inactive GDP-bound state. This GTPase cycle, which controls the activities of Ras, is accelerated by Ras GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) and guanine nucleotide exchange factors ...

Activation of phospholipase C beta4 by heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins [PDF]
Transient transfection assays were used to determine how the activity of phospholipase C beta 4, which is preferentially expressed in retina, was regulated.

Molecular architecture of Gαo and the structural basis for RGS16-mediated deactivation [PDF]
Heterotrimeric G proteins relay extracellular cues from heptahelical transmembrane receptors to downstream effector molecules. Composed of an α subunit with intrinsic GTPase activity and a βγ heterodimer, the trimeric complex dissociates upon receptor ...

Multiple GTP-binding proteins participate in clathrin-coated vesicle- mediated endocytosis
We have examined the effects of various agonists and antagonists of GTP- binding proteins on receptor-mediated endocytosis in vitro. Stage- specific assays which distinguish coated pit assembly, invagination, and coat vesicle budding have been used to ...

A nucleotide‐independent, pan‐RAS‐targeted DARPin elicits anti‐tumor activity in a multimodal manner
We report a Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein that binds and inhibits RAS proteins, which serve as central cell signaling hubs and are essential for the progression of many cancers. Its unique feature is that it does not discriminate between different RAS isoforms or mutations and is capable of binding to RAS in both its active (GTP‐bound) and inactive ...

Mitochondrial Protein Import [PDF]
The role of nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) in mitochondrial protein import was investigated with the precursors of N. crassa ADP/ATP carrier, F1-ATPase subunit β, F0-ATPase subunit 9, and fusion proteins between subunit 9 and mouse dihydrofolate ...

Emerging role of ARHGAP29 in melanoma cell phenotype switching
This study gives first insights into the role of ARHGAP29 in malignant melanoma. ARHGAP29 was revealed to be connected to tumor cell plasticity, promoting a mesenchymal‐like, invasive phenotype and driving tumor progression. Further, it modulates cell spreading by influencing RhoA/ROCK signaling and affects SMAD2 activity. Rho GTPase‐activating protein

Co-crystalization reveals the interaction between AtYchF1 and ppGpp
AtYchF1 is an unconventional G-protein in Arabidopsis thaliana that exhibits relaxed nucleotide-binding specificity. The bindings between AtYchF1 and biomolecules including GTP, ATP, and 26S rRNA have been reported.

The F-actin filament capping protein CapG is a bona fide nucleolar protein [PDF]
Actin works in concert with myosin I to regulate the transcription of ribosomal genes in the nucleolus. Recently, nucleolar actin has been shown to be active in its polymeric form raising the question how actin dynamics is regulated in the nucleolus ...

A process model of Rho GTP-binding proteins
AbstractRho GTP-binding proteins play a key role as molecular switches in many cellular activities. In response to extracellular stimuli and with the help of regulators (GEF, GAP, Effector, GDI), these proteins serve as switches that interact with their environment in a complex manner.
