GTPase activating protein (medicine) and Beach, Amy Marcy (sh)


GTPase activating protein (medicine)


GTPase activating protein
<molecular biology> Originally purified as a 125 kD protein from bovine brain (1044 amino acids), stimulates the GTPase activity of ras p21 and thereby switches it to the inactive state.

GAP may itself be regulated by phospholipids and by phosphorylation on a tyrosine residue by growth factor receptors (PDGF R, EGF R). The neurofibromatosis type 1 gene NF1) codes for a protein homologous to GAP. GAP has both SH2 and SH3 Domains. Another example is sar 1 (from yeast).


Beach, Amy Marcy (sh)




orig. Amy Marcy Cheney known as Mrs. H.H.A. Beach

born Sept. 5, 1867, Henniker, N.H., U.S.
died Dec. 27, 1944, New York, N.Y.

U.S. composer and pianist.

A precociously brilliant musician, she performed as soloist with major orchestras in the U.S. and Europe. As a composer she was devoted to German Romanticism rather than American themes or sources. Her best-loved works were her songs. Her Gaelic Symphony (1894) was the first symphony by an American woman. Other works include a piano concerto (1899), the choral pieces The Chambered Nautilus (1907) and Canticle of the Sun (1928), the opera Cabildo (1932), and a piano quintet (1907).
