Abstract

The crystal structure of the guanine-nucleotide-binding domain of p21 (amino acids 1-166) complexed to the guanosine triphosphate analogue guanosine-5'-(beta, gamma-imido)triphosphate (GppNp) has been determined at a resolution of 2.6 A. The topological order of secondary structure elements is the same as that of the guanine-nucleotide-binding domain of bacterial elongation factor EF-Tu. Many interactions between nucleotide and protein have been identified. The effects of point mutations and the conservation of amino-acid sequence in the guanine-nucleotide-binding proteins are discussed.
