GTPases are characterised by their use of GTP instead of ATP as a substrate. They are known to regulate many cellular processes such as translation, cell-signalling, intracellular trafficking and cytoskeletal re-organisation. Previous studies have located GTPases in a diverse array of bacteria and in all eukaryotes (Leipe, D. et. al. 2002).
