Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs)鸟嘌呤核苷酸交换因子

释义:

Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) are essential regulators of the spatiotemporal conditions of small GTP-binding protein (SMG) activation. Their cellular activities combine the biochemical stimulation of GDP/GTP exchange, which leads to the active conformation of the SMG, to the detection of upstream signals and, in some cases, interaction with downstream effectors. Inhibition of GEF activities by small molecules has become recently a very active field, both for understanding biology with the tools of chemistry and because GEFs are emerging as therapeutic targets.

鸟嘌呤核苷酸交换因子 (Guanine nucleotide exchange factors, GEFs) 是小 GTP 结合蛋白 (SMG) 激活时空条件的重要调节因子。它们的细胞活性结合了 GDP/GTP 交换的生化刺激 (导致 SMG 的活性构象) 和上游信号的检测,在某些情况下,与下游效应子的相互作用。小分子对 GEF 活性的抑制最近成为一个非常活跃的领域,这既是为了用化学工具理解生物学,也是因为 GEF 正在成为治疗靶点。
