According to the Switching mechanism, monomeric G proteins exist in two states. Match the following states (Column I) with correct mechanism (Column II).

Column I

Column II

A. “ON” state 

i. switch I and switch II, are bound to the terminal γ phosphate of GTP through interactions with the backbone amide groups of conserved threonine and glycine residues.

B. “OFF” state

ii. GTPase-activating proteins

 

iii. guanine nucleotide exchange factor

 

iv. Due to the removal of the γ phosphate by GTPase-catalyzed hydrolysis causes switch I and switch II to relax into a different conformation
