The Km for GTP hydrolysis by GTPBP3 proteins (calculated as specified in Materials in Methods) was around 250 μM.
GST-GTPBP3(Ins8A) G261A is a mutant protein impaired for guanine nucleotide binding, which was used as a negative control in these experiments (for location of residue G261, see Fig. 2).
