Abstract:

Individual rate constants have been determined for each step of the Ras.GTP hydrolysis mechanism, activated by neurofibromin. Fluorescence intensity and anisotropy stopped-flow measurements used the fluorescent GTP analogue, mantGTP (2'(3')-O-(N-methylanthraniloyl)GTP), to determine rate constants for binding and release of neurofibromin. Quenched flow measurements provided the kinetics of the hydrolytic cleavage step. The fluorescent phosphate sensor, MDCC-PBP was used to measure phosphate release kinetics. Phosphate-water oxygen exchange, using (18)O-substituted GTP and inorganic phosphate (P(i)), was used to determine the extent of reversal of the hydrolysis step and of P(i) binding. The data show that neurofibromin and P(i) dissociate from the NF1.Ras.GDP.P(i) complex with identical kinetics, which are 3-fold slower than the preceding cleavage step. A model is presented in which the P(i) release is associated with the change of Ras from "GTP" to "GDP" conformation. In this model, the conformation change on P(i) release causes the large change in affinity of neurofibromin, which then dissociates rapidly.

Curator's comment:
(added: 22 Mar 2018, 10:51:48, updated: 22 Mar 2018, 10:51:48)
The model as such reproduces figure 4 of the reference publication. The figure shows the percentage change in P_i (inorganic phosphate) and the percentage of hlpc (RasGTP) remaining. The simulation was performed in COPASI 4.22 (Build 170) and the figure was generated in MATLAB R2014b.
