Abstract excerpt
Rap1B is a small GTPase involved in the regulation of numerous cellular processes including synaptic plasticity, one of the bases of memory. Like other members of the Ras family, the active GTP-bound form of Rap1B can bind to a large number of effector proteins and so transmit signals to downstream components of the signaling pathways. The structure of Rap1B bound only to a nucleotide has yet to be solved, but...
