Figure 3. Accessible Hydrophobic Residues in the Predicted Coiled Coil Are Critical for Rab Binding
(A) Helical wheel projection of a coiled coil predicted for GCC185 residues 1579–1606. Residues in registers “a–g” were predicted by the Paircoil program. Residues at positions “a” and “d” lie in the dimer interface. Boxed residues are candidates for binding interactions with Rab GTPases.
(B and C) Effect of alanine substitutions on Rab binding. Reactions contained wild-type or mutant GST-C-110 ([B] 3 μM, [C] 2 μM) and ^35S-GTPγS-preloaded GTPases ([B] 170 pmol Rab9-His, [C] 190 pmol His-Rab6). Data are mean ± SD.
(D) Mass determination of untagged RBD-87 I1588A/L1595A by multiple angle static light scattering. The gel filtration elution profile of the protein (black line) and molecular mass (gray line) are shown. Polydispersity of the peak was 1.001.
