Two active states of the Ras-related Bud1/Rsr1 protein bind to different effectors to determine yeast cell polarity. of special interest Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 94:1997;4463-4468 This paper shows that Bud1p/Rsr1p in its GTP-bound form associates with Cdc24p, whereas Bud1p/Rsr1p in its GDP-bound form associates with Bem1p. On the basis of these results, the authors propose that the switch from Bud1p-GTP to Bud1p-GDP regulates ordered assembly of a macromolecular complex at the bud site.
