Abstract excerpt
Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) stimulate the activation of small GTP-binding proteins (GTPases). Establishing their specificity is a challenging issue, in which chemical genetics are rapidly gaining interest. We report a mutation in the Arf1 GTPase, K38A, which differentially alters its sensitivity to GEF inhibitors. The mutation renders Arf1 insensitive to LM11, a GEF inhibitor that we previously...
