GTPase-activating proteins or GTPase-accelerating proteins (GAPs) are a family of regulatory proteins whose members can bind to activated G proteins and stimulate their GTPase activity, with the result of terminating the signaling event. [1] GAPs are also known as RGS protein, or RGS proteins, [2] and these proteins are crucial in controlling ...
The Rho family of GTPases is a family of small (~21 kDa) signaling G proteins, and is a subfamily of the Ras superfamily. The members of the Rho GTPase family have been shown to regulate many aspects of intracellular actin dynamics, and are found in all eukaryotic kingdoms, including yeasts and some plants. Three members of the family have been ...
Gamma-glutamyltransferase (also γ-glutamyltransferase, GGT, gamma-GT, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase; [1] EC 2.3.2.2) is a transferase (a type of enzyme) that catalyzes the transfer of gamma- glutamyl functional groups from molecules such as glutathione to an acceptor that may be an amino acid, a peptide or water (forming glutamate). [1][2 ...

ChatGPT is a language model -based chatbot developed by OpenAI and launched on November 30, 2022. It can generate human-like conversational responses and enables users to refine and steer a conversation towards a desired length, format, style, level of detail, and language. [2] Successive user prompts and replies are considered at each ...
Hydrolysis of GTP bound to an (active) G domain-GTPase leads to deactivation of the signaling/timer function of the enzyme. [2] [3] The hydrolysis of the third (γ) phosphate of GTP to create guanosine diphosphate (GDP) and P i, inorganic phosphate, occurs by the S N 2 mechanism (see nucleophilic substitution) via a pentacoordinate transition state and is dependent on the presence of a ...
Small GTPases (EC 3.6.5.2), also known as small G-proteins, are a family of hydrolase enzymes that can bind and hydrolyze guanosine triphosphate (GTP). They are a type of G-protein found in the cytosol that are homologous to the alpha subunit of heterotrimeric G-proteins, but unlike the alpha subunit of G proteins, a small GTPase can function independently as a hydrolase enzyme to bind to and ...
