Abstract excerpt
Most G-proteins require a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) to regulate a variety of critical cellular processes. Interestingly, a small number of G-proteins switch between the active and inactive forms without a GEF. Translation elongation factor 1A (eEF1A) normally requires the GEF eEF1Balpha to accelerate nucleotide dissociation. However, several mutant forms of eEF1A are functional independent of this...
