BEM3_YEAST GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for CDC42 and less efficiently for RHO1. Negative regulator of the pheromone-response pathway through the STE20 protein kinase.[1] [2]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
The structure of the tandem lipid-binding PX and pleckstrin-homology (PH) domains of the Cdc42 GTPase-activating protein Bem3 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain S288c) has been determined to a resolution of 2.2 A (Rwork = 21.1%, Rfree = 23.4%). It shows that the domains adopt a relative orientation that enables them to simultaneously bind to a membrane and suggests possible cooperativity in membrane binding.
