Functional narrative    

Plasma membrane-associated small GTPase which cycles between active GTP-bound and inactive GDP-bound states. In its active state, binds to a variety of effector proteins to regulate cellular responses such as secretory processes, phagocytosis of apoptotic cells, epithelial cell polarization and growth-factor induced formation of membrane ruffles. Isoform B has an accelerated GEF-independent GDP/GTP exchange and an impaired GTP hydrolysis, which is restored partially by GTPase-activating proteins. It is able to bind to the GTPase-binding domain of PAK but not full-length PAK in a GTP-dependent manner, suggesting that the insertion does not completely abolish effector interaction.

Structural/functional type: Relationship to function unknown
Functional classes: Unknown
Functional subclasses: Unknown
Detection methods:
  1. X-ray crystallography (100 K; dithioerythritol 2 mM; Hepes (pH 7.5) 100 mM; isopropanol (2-6%); MgCl2 2 mM; PEG 3350 (18-30%); Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) 20 mM)

Comments:
This 19 amino acid insert appears to have a negative affect on the binding abilities of this protein. Proper binding requires stabilization of the two switch regions, and this disordered insert disrupts that stability.
