Obligatory role in GTP hydrolysis for the amide carbonyl oxygen of the Mg(2+)-coordinating Thr of regulatory GTPases.

abstract：:Transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta) signaling has been shown to play a role in cardiac development as well as in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Prior studies have suggested a relationship between cholesterol metabolism and TGFbeta signaling. Here we demonstrate that induction of the cholesterol meta...
