Abstract excerpt
hGBP1 is a GTPase with antiviral activity encoded by an interferon- activated human gene. Specific binding of hGBP1 to guanine nucleotides has been established although only two classical GTP-binding motifs were found in its primary sequence. The unique position of hGBP1 amongst known GTPases is further demonstrated by the hydrolysis of GTP to GDP and GMP. Although subsequent cleavage of orthophosphates rather...
