Fig. 5. GAP activity of S. pombe rna1p in the presence of increasing concentrations of the C-terminally truncated mutant protein rna1 p341. 1 µM Ran loaded with [ -32P]GTP was incubated at 30 °C with buffer ( circle ), 0.025 nM rna1p ( ), 0.05 nM rna1p ( ), or 0.1 nM rna1p ( ). In the latter case (1^ µM Ran, 0.1 nM rna1p) the reaction was carried out in the absence^ ( ) or presence of 0.025 nM rna1p 341 ( ), 0.05 nM rna1p 341 ( ), 0.1 nM rna1p 341 (×), 0.2 nM rna1p 341 ( ), 0.5 nM rna1p 341 ( ), 2 nM rna1p 341 ( ), or 20 nM rna1p 341 ( ). GTPase activity was determined as decrease of the nitrocellulose-bound [ -32P]GTP, and results are given as the percentage of radioactivity bound to Ran 30 s after addition of the respective GAP. The individual experiments were carried out at least three times, and curves of a representative experiment are shown. Note that the addition of increasing amounts ot the rna1p 341 does not affect the GAP activity of 0.1 nM wild-type rna1p. All curves characterizing the reactions containing 1 µM Ran and 0.1 nM rna1p are nearly identical and partially mask one another.
