Abstract

GTP-binding (G) proteins constitute a class of P-loop (phosphate-binding loop) proteins that work as molecular switches between the GDP-bound OFF and the GTP-bound ON state. The common principle is the 160–180-residue G domain with an α,β topology that is responsible for nucleotide-dependent conformational changes and drives many biological functions. Although the G domain uses a universally conserved switching mechanism, its structure, function, and GTPase reaction are modified for many different pathways and processes.
