Document Summary
Note: the phosphorylation of a protein by kinase can either increase or decrease the protein"s activity, depending on the site of phosphorylation and the structure of protein. Proteins that bind and hydrolyze gtp are ubiquitous cell regulators. Gtp-binding protein aka gtp ase: when bind to gtp conformational change. Regulatory proteins gap and gef control the activity of gtp- binding protein by determining whether the gtp or gdp is bound. Gtpase activating protein; inactivate ras by binding and hydrolyzing. Guanine nucleotide exchange factor: binds to gdp-ras and cause ras to release. Proteins can be regulated by the covalent addition of other proteins. Ubiquitin: can covalently attach to target protein. Major form produce poly ubiquitin lys48 linked ubiquitin attaching to the lysine sidechain. Other : sumo (small ubiquitin related modifier ) An elaborate ubiquitin- conjugating system is used to mark proteins. C-term of ubiquitin activated by ubiquitin-activating enzyme (e1) Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (e2) act with ubiquitin ligase (e3)
