They act as molecular switches which are on when binding GTP and off when binding GDP. GTP-binding proteins belong to two families: heterotrimeric G proteins[1] see Transducin and small GTPases[2]. Small GTPase structure is homologous to that of the α subunit of heterotrimeric G protein. See details on small GTP-binding protein LepA in LepA. Nucleolar GTP-binding proteins are involved in the biogenesis of ribosome[3]. Heterotrimeric G protein or guanine nucleotide-binding protein or G protein (GNBP) are heterodimeric membrane proteins composed of α, β and γ subunits. GNBP is involved in mammalian cellular signaling pathways. GNBP α subunit binds GDP or GTP. When bound to GTP it dissociates from the β and γ subunits, binds to adenylate cyclase which converts ATP to cAMP.
