The crystal structure of human racl, a member of the rho family of small G-proteins,
complexed with the non-hydrolysable GTP analogue, guanosine-5′-(βγ-imino)
triphosphate (GMPPNP), has been determined by X-ray analysis at a resolution of 1.38 Å.
Comparison with the structure of H-ras indicates that racl has an extra α-helical domain that
is characteristic of the rho G proteins, and may be involved in the signalling pathway of this
family.
