Abstract excerpt
We examined c-Ha-Ras harboring an aspartate to asparagine substitution at position 119 (mutation D119N). The Asp-119 is part of the conserved NKXD motif shared by members of the regulatory GTPase family. This asparagine residue has been proposed to participate in direct bonding to the guanine ring and to determine the guanine-nucleotide binding specificity. The D119N mutation was found to alter nucleotide...
