摘要

The GTP-binding proteins or GTPases comprise a superfamily of proteins that provide molecularnswitches in numerous cellular processes. The “GTPase switch” paradigm, in which aGTPase acts as a bimodalnswitch that is turned “on” and “off” by external regulatory factors, has been used to interpret the regulatorynmechanism of many GTPases for more than two decades. Nevertheless, recent work has unveiled an emergingnclass of “multistate” regulatory GTPases that do not adhere to this classical paradigm. Instead of relying onnexternal nucleotide exchange factors or GTPase activating proteins to switch between the on and off states,nthese GTPases have the intrinsic ability to exchange nucleotides and to sense and respond to upstream andndownstream factors. In contrast to the bimodal nature of the GTPase switch, these GTPases undergo multiplenconformational rearrangements, allowing multiple regulatory points to be built into a complex biologicalnprocess to ensure the efficiency and fidelity of the pathway. We suggest that these multistate regulatorynGTPases are uniquely suited to provide spatial and temporal control of complex cellular pathways thatnrequire multiple molecular events to occur in a highly coordinated fashion.
