Stimulation of GTP hydrolysis by wild-type Ran but
not E1-Ran, by full-length and carboxyl-terminal-deleted (c-del)
RanGAP1 proteins. Recombinant wild-type
Ran·[γ-32P]GTP (∼1 μM) was incubated with
GST-RanGAP1 (A, ∼0.01 μM, ○ or GST-c-del RanGAP1 (0.15 μM,
▪), GST-RanGAP1 (B, ∼0.01 μM) alone (▪) or GST-RanGAP1 (∼0.01
μM) plus GST-RanBP1 (0.5 μM, ○), and GST-c-del RanGAP1 (C,
∼0.15 μM) alone (▪) or GST-c-del RanGAP1 (∼0.15 μM) plus
GST-RanBP1 (0.5 μM, ○). (D) E1-Ran·[γ-32P]GTP
(∼1 μM) was incubated with either GST (5.0 μM, ▪), GST-RanGAP1
(∼0.01 μM, ▴), or GST-c-del RanGAP1 (0.15 μM, ○). At the
indicated times, the percentage of 32P still bound to Ran
was determined (see MATERIALS AND METHODS).
