The underlying mechanism of assembly‐stimulated GMP formation by large GTPase hGBP1 is not fully clarified. Here, we suggest that after first phosphate cleavage, the W79‐containing region undergoes a conformational change, which helps to reposition the active site for the next cleavage through a stable contact between the W79 side chain and the main chain of K76. We also showed that stimulated GMP formation is crucial for suppression of HCV proliferation.
