Reciprocal regulation of PKA and rac signaling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013

Rapid GTP binding and hydrolysis by G(q) promoted by receptor and GTPase-activating proteins.

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1999
Receptor-promoted GTP binding and GTPase-activating protein (GAP)-promoted GTP hydrolysis determine the onset and termination of G protein signaling; they coordinately control signal amplitude.

Synaptic GAP and GEF Complexes Cluster Proteins Essential for GTP Signaling

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) and guanine exchange factors (GEFs) play essential roles in regulating the activity of small GTPases. Several GAPs and GEFs have been shown to be present at the postsynaptic density (PSD) within excitatory glutamatergic ...

Deconstruction of the Ras switching cycle through saturation mutagenesis

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Ras proteins are highly conserved signaling molecules that exhibit regulated, nucleotide-dependent switching between active and inactive states. The high conservation of Ras requires mechanistic explanation, especially given the general mutational ...

GAP1 Family Members Constitute Bifunctional Ras and Rap GTPase-activating Proteins*

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2006
GAP1IP4BP is a member of the GAP1 family of Ras GTPase-activating proteins (Ras GAPs) that includes GAP1m, CAPRI, and RASAL. Composed of a central Ras GAP domain, surrounded by amino-terminal C2 domains and a carboxyl-terminal pleckstrin homology/Bruton ...

Stress-dependent inhibition of polarized cell growth through unbalancing the GEF/GAP regulation of Cdc42

open access: yesCell Reports, 2021
Summary: Cdc42 GTPase rules cell polarity and growth in fission yeast. It is negatively and positively regulated by GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) and guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), respectively.

Dysregulated GPCR Signaling and Therapeutic Options in Uveal Melanoma. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignant tumor in adults and arises from the transformation of melanocytes in the uveal tract. Even after treatment of the primary tumor, up to 50% of patients succumb to metastatic disease.

Two New Members of a Family of Ypt/Rab GTPase Activating Proteins

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1999
Monomeric GTPases of the Ras superfamily have a very slow intrinsic GTPase activity which is accelerated by specific GTPase-activating proteins. In contrast to Ras- and Rho-specific GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) that have been studied in great detail,

Phospholipases as GTPase activity accelerating proteins (GAPs) in plants [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Signaling & Behavior, 2016
GTPase activity accelerating proteins (GAPs) are key regulators of the G-protein signaling cycle. By facilitating effective hydrolysis of the GTP bound on Gα proteins, GAPs control the timing and amplitude of the signaling cycle and ascertain the availability of the inactive heterotrimer for the next round of activation.

Lrg1 Regulates β (1,3)-Glucan Masking in Candida albicans through the Cek1 MAP Kinase Pathway

open access: yesmBio, 2019
Candida albicans is among the most prevalent opportunistic human fungal pathogens. The ability to mask the immunogenic polysaccharide β (1,3)-glucan from immune detection via a layer of mannosylated proteins is a key virulence factor of C. albicans.
