Abstract

The idea that both the substrate and the enzyme contribute to catalysis (substrate assisted catalysis; SAC) is applicable to guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins). Naturally occurring SAC uses GTP as a general base in the GTPase reaction catalyzed by G proteins. Engineered SAC has identified a putative rate-limiting step for the GTPase reaction and shown that GTPase-deficient oncogenic Ras mutants are not irreversibly impaired. Thus, anti-cancer drugs could potentially be designed to restore the blocked GTPase reaction.
