Loops in ribbon model to depict the reorientations. Whole complex in spacefill model emphasising that Thr35 and Gly60 are no longer in close contact with GDP. The effect of this conformational change on the action of guanine nucleotide binding proteins on the effector molecules is unknown because of the lack of knowledge on the mechanism of interaction between guanine nucleotide binding proteins and effectors. Much more is known concerning the effect of the conformational change on the GTPase activity.
The gamma phosphate is cleaved by nucleophilic attack by a water molecule. This nucleophilic attack is assisted when the water molecule is strongly polarised by forming hydrogen bonds. In the GTP-bound conformation, Gln61 in loop 4 is in the favourable position for its side chain carbonyl oxygen to form hydrogen bond with the attacking water molecule.
This polarising effect on the nucleophilic water attacker is further assisted by hydrogen bonding with the main chain carbonyl oxygen of Thr35 in loop 2, which is favourably oriented in the GTP-bound conformation. After the gamma phosphate is cleaved off by the GTPase, loops 2 and 4 lose their grip on GDP and reorientate themselves.
They are no longer in the favourable positions to polarise the attacking water nucleophile. The two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between the bases, with adenine forming a base pair with thymine, and cytosine forming a base pair with guanine. Base pair describes the relationship between the building blocks on the strands of DNA. And each of the nucleotides on one side of the strand pairs with a specific nucleotide on the other side of the strand, and this makes up the double helix.
So for example, if there's a G on one side of the strand, there will always be a C on the other. If there's a T on one side of the strand, there will always be an A on the other.
