Abstract excerpt
SAR1 encodes a 21-kDa GTPase, which is required for vesicle formation from the endoplasmic reticulum in yeast. Although it belongs to the expanding small GTPase superfamily, there are interesting structural features that are unique to the Sar1 protein. We performed a site-directed mutational study to identify the amino acid residues that are essential for the Sar1p function. Among seven mutants we constructed,...
