The recent availability of the fullSaccharomyces cerevisiaegenome sequence offers a first opportunity to analyze the composition, function and evolution of GTPases in the ras‐p21 superfamily. This superfamily in yeast is composed of 29 proteins divided into five families: ras with four sequences implicated in cell signalling; rho, six genes related to the cell shape machinery; ypt‐rab, ten proteins with different roles in intracellular trafficking; arf‐sar, seven proteins related to vesicular trafficking in secretory pathways; and ran, two proteins acting as components of the nuclear transport system. The superfamily covers a wide range of cellular functions from signalling to intracellular trafficking, while conserving the structural framework and a common mechanism of GTP hydrolysis.
