The intrinsic GTPase activity of the Gtr1 protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Background: The Gtr1 protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a member of the RagA subfamily of the Ras-like small GTPase superfamily. Gtr1 has been implicated in various cellular processes. Particularly, the Switch regions in the GTPase domain of Gtr1 are essential for TORC1 activation and amino acid signaling [R. Gong, L. Li, Y. Liu, P. Wang, H. Yang, L. Wang, J. Cheng, K. L. Guan, Y.
