Recent advances in molecular biology have shown GTPases and
phosphoproteins to be the paramount molecular switches utilized
intracellularly in biological systems. The origins of the GTPase
switch appear to be almost as ancient as life itself, and through
evolution nature has adapted this switch to a variety of purposes.
In this two-volume work a broad survey of the major classes of
GTPases is presented. The role of GTPases in ensuring accuracy
during protein translation, a new look at the trimeric G-protein
cycle, the molecular function of ARF in vesicle coating, the
emerging role of the dynamin family in vesicle transfer, GTPases
which activate GTPases during nascent protein translocation, and
the many roles of ras-related proteins in growth, cytoskeletal
polymerization, and vesicle transfer, are all described in 80
chapters by the leading authorities in their fields. Both detailed
knowledge of specific systems or proteins and general principles of
structure and function are offered. Much of this information has
never been published before. At the rate the extended family of
GTPases is growing it becomes increasingly unlikely that we will
again get it to sit for a group portrait such as this. Therefore,
the volume has the chance to become "the" reference work for
GTPases.
