Abstract excerpt
The Ras superfamily of small G proteins governs unidirectional cellular processes by virtue of GTP hydrolysis and concomitant conformational changes, which are in turn regulated by a number of accessory factors. Members of the Rab subfamily are important for correct targeting and fusion of intra-organellar vesicles loaded with trafficking proteins and lipids. During evolution from a prototype gene, novel...
