STRUCTURE OF THE RHO FAMILY GTP-BINDING PROTEIN CDC42 IN COMPLEX WITH THE MULTIFUNCTIONAL REGULATOR RHOGDI
|
OverviewOverview
The RhoGDI proteins serve as key multifunctional regulators of Rho family, GTP-binding proteins. The 2.6 A X-ray crystallographic structure of the, Cdc42/RhoGDI complex reveals two important sites of interaction between, GDI and Cdc42. First, the amino-terminal regulatory arm of the GDI binds, to the switch I and II domains of Cdc42 leading to the inhibition of both, GDP dissociation and GTP hydrolysis. Second, the geranylgeranyl moiety of, Cdc42 inserts into a hydrophobic pocket within the immunoglobulin-like, domain of the GDI molecule leading to membrane release. The structural, data demonstrate how GDIs serve as negative regulators of small, GTP-binding proteins and how the isoprenoid moiety is utilized in this, critical regulatory interaction.
