THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF RNA1P: A NEW FOLD FOR A GTPASE-ACTIVATING PROTEIN
Overview
rna1p is the Schizosaccharomyces pombe ortholog of the mammalian GTPase-activating protein (GAP) of Ran. Both proteins are essential for nuclear transport. Here, we report the crystal structure of rna1p at 2.66 A resolution. It contains 11 leucine-rich repeats that adopt the nonglobular shape of a crescent, bearing no resemblance to RhoGAP or RasGAP. The invariant residues of RanGAP form a contiguous surface, strongly indicating the Ran-binding interface. Alanine mutations identify Arg-74 as a critical residue for GTP hydrolysis. In contrast to RasGAP and RhoGAP, Arg-74 could be substituted by lysine and contributed significantly to the binding of Ran. Therefore, we suggest a GAP mechanism for rna1p, which constitutes a variation of the arginine finger mechanism found for Ras GAP and RhoGAP.
