To date, the superfamily of GTP-binding proteins consists of several members including translational factors, tubulins and signal-transducing GTP-binding proteins. It is this last group that will be the subject of this review. As implied in the name, the GTP-binding proteins have the ability to effi

To identify isoprenylated plant GTP-binding proteins, Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana tabacum cDNA expression libraries were screened for cDNA-encoded proteins capable of binding [32p]GTP in vitro. ATGB2, an Arabidopsis homologue of the GTP-binding protein Rab2, was found to bind GTP in vitro and
## Abstract Mitochondria and crude nuclei containing fractions from human placenta have been shown to contain proteins which bind [Ξ±^32^P]βGTP. Prior to this study the number of GTPβbinding proteins in placental nuclei and their nucleotide specificity was not known. Also unknown was the identity of
