Switch-of-Function Mutants Based on Morphology Classification of Ras Superfamily Small GTPases
Signaling proteins from the same family can have markedly different roles in a given cellular context. Here, we show that expression of one hundred constitutively active human small GTPases induced cell morphologies that fell into nine distinct classes. We developed an algorithm for pairs of classes that predicted amino acid positions that can be exchanged to create mutants with switched functi...
متن کاملActivation of the Ras superfamily of small GTPases. Workshop on exchange factors.
Introduction The Center for International Meetings on Biology workshop on ‘Exchange Factors’ provided an up-to-date view of how guaninenucleotide-exchange factors (GEFs) affect the biochemical pathways that regulate the Ras superfamily of small GTPases, and how these molecules function as part of an interrelated network of regulatory proteins that mediate the biological responses of Ras-like GT...
متن کاملBiochemical Clustering of Monomeric GTPases of the Ras Superfamily*□S
To date phylogeny has been used to compare entire families of proteins based on their nucleotide or amino acid sequence. Here we developed a novel analytical platform allowing a systematic comparison of protein families based on their biochemical properties. This approach was validated on the Rho subfamily of GTPases. We used two high throughput methods, referred to as AlphaScreen and FlashPlat...

متن کاملNitric oxide cell signaling: S-nitrosation of Ras superfamily GTPases.
The Ras superfamily of small GTPases cycle between inactive GDP-bound and active GTP-bound states to modulate a diverse array of processes involved in cellular growth control. While the basic mechanisms by which GTPase regulatory proteins regulate GTPase substrates have been revealed through numerous studies, detailed studies into the mechanism(s) of free radical-mediated GTPase regulation have...
