Department of Microbiology & Immunology University of Illinois Chicago GTPase mechanisms work for ras family oncogenes, vesicular transport mechanisms, signal transduction, and translational initiation and elongation in prokaryotes, eukaryotic microbes, plants, and animals. Members of the diverse GTPase group of enzymes share sequence homologies, molecular mechanisms, and structural patterns. Crystal structures (from X-ray analysis), molecular genetics, and biochemical studies merge into a
