Stimulation of the GTPase activity of the Cdc42 proteins by the increasing concentrations of Cdc42GAP. Experiments were performed at the initial GTP concentration of 100 μM. Shown are Cdc42-wt (black circles), Cdc42-des1 (blue squares), and Cdc42-des2 (red triangles). Concentration of all 3 Cdc42 proteins was kept constant at 0.5 μM. Data were fitted to a binding equation
where
y is the fractional saturation,
LT is the total Cdc42GAP concentration,
MT is the total Cdc42 concentration, and K
d,
app is the apparent dissociation constant of Cdc42 to Cdc42GAP. Dashed lines are the results of the fit for each individual protein, and the solid line is the fit of all datapoints to a single K
d,
app. See the results of the fit in
Table 2.
