Gip1 sequesters heterotrimeric G proteins in the cytosolic pool which regulates G protein-coupled receptor signalling for eukaryotic chemotaxis. Here the authors provide the crystal structure of Gip1's G protein-binding region and show that mutations in this region lead to G protein sequestration and ultimately chemotaxis defects.
