13. Dynamin GTPase is stimulated by crosslinking through the C-terminal proline-rich domain.
Dynamin is a 100 kDa GTPase required for endocytic-coated vesicle formation. Recombinant human neuronal dynamin (dynamin-1) was used for monoclonal antibody (mAb) production. Two mAbs, designated hudy-2 (for human dynamin) and hudy-4, were chosen for further study based on their differential ability to recognize dynamin-1 and its non-neuronal isoform, dynami

14. Microtubules and Src homology 3 domains stimulate the dynamin GTPase via its C-terminal domain.
Dynamin is a 100-kDa GTPase that plays a critical role in the initial stages of endocytosis. Dynamin binds to microtubules, which potently stimulate its GTPase activity. Binding to Src homology 3 (SH3) domains of proteins involved in signal transduction has also recently been reported. In the present study, the protein was digested with a variety of protease

15. Additional component required for activity and reconstitution of light-activated vertebrate photoreceptor GTPase.
A light-activated GTPase that functions as a component of the rhodopsin-linked, light-activated phosphodiesterase (PDEase) system in vertebrate photoreceptors has been reported. In our efforts to purify photoreceptor GTPase we encountered another component (which we call "helper" or "H" component) whose presence is required for expression of light-activated

16. Effects of phospholipids and ADP-ribosylation on GTP hydrolysis by Escherichia coli-synthesized Ha-ras-encoded p21.
The Ha-ras protooncogene product p21, which may be involved in control of cellular growth, is a membrane protein that binds guanine nucleotides and hydrolyzes GTP. p21 GTPase activity is stimulated by lysophosphatidylcholine; a delay in activation was observed unless p21 was incubated with the phospholipid prior to assay. Maximal activation by the phospholip

17. Epinephrine suppresses rap1B.GAP-activated GTPase activity in human platelets.
Lysate from quiescent platelets promotes rapid hydrolysis of [gamma-32P]GTP bound to rap1B. Various platelet agonists, including platelet-activating factor, phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, alpha-thrombin, epinephrine, ADP, and iloprost, that affect platelet metabolism by different signal transduction pathways were used to stimulate intact platelets and study their

18. IRA2, an upstream negative regulator of RAS in yeast, is a RAS GTPase-activating protein.
The ras GTPase-activating protein (GAP), identified and characterized in mammalian cells, stimulates the intrinsic GTPase activity of ras proteins. We have previously proposed that the IRA genes, negative regulators of RAS genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, encode yeast homologs of the mammalian GAP. In this paper, we present the following evidence that a pr

19. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone stimulates GTP hydrolysis by membranes from GH4C1 rat pituitary tumor cells.
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulates prolactin production by GH4C1 rat pituitary tumor cells, which possess high-affinity membrane receptors for the peptide. TRH caused up to a 50% increase in the activity of a low-Km GTPase in membranes from GH4C1 cells. The TRH stimulatory effect was maximal at GTP concentrations of 1 microM or lower. TRH caused

20. A novel GTPase activated by the small subunit of ribosome
The GTPase activity of Escherichia coli YjeQ, here named RsgA (ribosome small subunit-dependent GTPase A), has been shown to be significantly enhanced by ribosome or its small subunit. The enhancement of GTPase activity was inhibited by several aminoglycosides bound at the A site of the small subunit, but not by a P site-specific antibiotic. RsgA stably boun

21. A Monomeric GTPase-Negative MxA Mutant with Antiviral Activity
MxA is a large, interferon-induced GTPase with antiviral activity against RNA viruses. It forms large oligomers, but whether oligomerization and GTPase activity are important for antiviral function is not known. The mutant protein MxA(L612K) carries a lysine-for-leucine substitution at position 612 and fails to form oligomers. Here we show that monomeric MxA

22. A light-activated GTPase in vertebrate photoreceptors: Regulation of light-activated cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase
We have been studying the mechanism by which light and nucleoside triphosphates activate the discmembrane phosphodiesterase (oligonucleate 5′-nucleotidohydrolase; EC 3.1.4.1) in frog rod outer segments. GTP is orders of magnitude more effective than ATP as a cofactor in the light-dependent activation step. GTP and the analogue guanylyl-imidodiphosphate fun

23. Guanosinetriphosphatase activity of tubulin associated with microtubule assembly.
Tubulin, purified by cycles of assembly followed by phosphocellulose chromatography, exhibits a characteristic GTPase activity that is polymerization dependent and can be attributed to the tubulin itself. This activity has been observed, in a standard reassembly buffer containing low Mg2+, under three conditions that induce microtubule assembly: in the prese

24. Biochemical characterization of baculovirus-expressed rap1A/Krev-1 and its regulation by GTPase-activating proteins.
Normal human rap1A and 35A rap1A (which encodes a protein with a Thr-35----Ala mutation) were cloned into a baculovirus transfer vector and expressed in Sf9 insect cells. The resulting proteins were purified, and their nucleotide binding, GTPase activities, and responsiveness to GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) were characterized and compared with those of
