Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
mastoparan stimulates GTP binding in the presence of Mg2+ and guanine nucleotide exchange, mastoparan mimics the GPCR mode of action Plasmodium falciparum
Sodium fluoride stimulates of guanine nucleotide exchange, based on the formation of a fluoroaluminate complex which can pass the membrane and occupy the position next to bound GDP and thus stimulates an active state conformation Plasmodium falciparum

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
additional information the enzyme has has GTP binding capacity and GTPase activity due to an EngA2 domain present in small Ras-like GTPases Plasmodium falciparum
physiological function the putitative, Ras-like G-protein might be involved in a non-canonical signaling pathway in Plasmodium falciparum Plasmodium falciparum
