Abstract
Heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are positioned at the top of many signal transduction pathways. The G protein α subunit is composed of two domains, one that resembles Ras and another that is composed entirely of α helices. Historically most attention has focused on the Ras-like domain, but emerging evidence reveals that the helical domain is an active participant in G protein signaling.Entities:
