The superfamily of small, monomeric GTP-binding proteins, in Arabidopsis thaliana comprising 93 members, is classified into four families: Arf/Sar, Rab, Rop/Rac, and Ran families. All monomeric G proteins function as molecular switches that are activated by GTP and inactivated by the hydrolysis of GTP to GDP. GTP/GDP cycling is controlled by three classes of regulatory protein: guanine-nucleotide-exchange factors (GEFs), GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs), and guanine-nucleotide-dissociation inhibitors (GDIs). Proteins of Arf family are primarily involved in regulation of membrane traffic and organization of the cytoskeleton. Arf1/Sar1 proteins regulate the formation of vesicle coat at different steps in the exocytic and endocytic pathways. Rab GTPases are regulators of vesicular transport. They are involved in vesicle formation, recruitment of cytoskeletal motor proteins, and in vesicle tethering and fusion. Rop proteins serve as key regulators of cytoskeletal reorganization in response to extracellular signals. Several data have also shown that Rop proteins play additional roles in membrane trafficking and regulation of enzymes activity. Ran proteins are involved in nucleocytoplasmic transport.
