The oligomeric states of TBC1D4 RabGAP (A), CTR (B), and RabGAP-CTR1 (C) were analyzed by sedimentation equilibrium. (A) Sedimentation equilibrium distributions of RabGAP (TBC1D4 865-1191) measured at 18,000 rpm and 280 nm (□) are fitted for both an ideal monomer (solid line, 1×) and a dimer (dotted line, 2×). The random residual distributions shown for a monomer (□, 1×) in comparison to a dimer (○, 2×) indicate that RabGAP exists as homogeneous monomers in solution (inset). (B) Sedimentation equilibrium distributions of CTR (TBC1D4 1192-1299) measured at 18,000 rpm and 280 nm (□) are fitted for an ideal dimer (solid line, 2×), monomer, and a trimer (dotted line, 1×, 3×). Random residual distributions shown for a dimer (●, 2×) in comparison to either a monomer (△, 1×), or a trimer (▽, 3×) indicate that CTR exists as homogeneous dimers in solution (inset). (C) Sedimentation equilibrium distributions of RabGAP-CTR1 (TBC1D4 865-1299) measured at 13,000 rpm and 230 nm (○) are fitted for an ideal dimer (solid line, 2×), monomer, and a trimer (dotted line, 1×, 3×). Random residual distributions shown for a dimer (●, 2×) in comparison to either a monomer (△, 1×), or a trimer (▽, 3×) indicate that RabGAP-CTR1 exists as homogeneous dimers in solution (inset).
