Mechanistic insights into the interactions of dynein regulator Ndel1 with neuronal ankyrins and implications in polarity maintenance.

abstract：:In signal-recognition particle (SRP)-dependent protein targeting to the bacterial plasma membrane, two GTPases, Ffh (a subunit of the bacterial SRP) and FtsY (the bacterial SRP receptor), act as GTPase activating proteins for one another. The molecular mechanism of this reciprocal GTPase activation is poorly understoo...
