A conserved arginine in ACAP/ASAP family members is necessary for GAP activity. epitope-tagged ACAP1, [R448Q]ACAP1, ACAP2, [R442Q]ACAP2, ASAP1, and [R497K]ASAP1 were expressed and purified as described in Materials and Methods. The GAP activity of ACAP1 and ACAP2, using Arf6 as a substrate, was compared with the GAP activity of an equal amount of [R448Q]ACAP1 and [R442Q]ACAP2. The GAP activity of ASAP1 and [R497K]ASAP1, present at equivalent concentrations, was determined using Arf1 as a substrate. The data were normalized to the activity of wild-type protein, which was 0.05/min for ACAP1, 0.088/min for ACAP2, and 0.35/min for ASAP1. The error bars represent the range of duplicate determinations from one of three experiments.
