GTR1 was first identified in S. cerevisiae as a suppressor of a mutation in RCC1. Biochemical analysis revealed that Gtr1 is in fact a G protein of the Ras family. The RagA/B proteins are the human homologues of Gtr1. Included in this family is the human Rag C, a novel protein that has been shown to interact with RagA/B [1,2,3,4]. [1]. 1620108.
