DGAP1, a homologue of rasGTPase activating proteins that controls growth, cytokinesis, and development in Dictyostelium discoideum.

FEBS letters - 7 Oct 1996

Faix J, Dittrich W

Abstract excerpt

A protein accumulated in the cortical region of Dictyostelium discoideum cells proved to be a homologue of GTPase activating proteins that are responsible for the inactivation of ras in yeast and man. Elimination of this protein, DGAP1, by gene replacement resulted in an increased rate of growth of D. discoideum cells on bacterial lawns, and in the formation of aberrant, multi-tipped fruiting bodies....
