X-RAY STRUCTURE OF THE SMALL G PROTEIN RAB11A IN COMPLEX WITH GDP AND PI
Overview
GTP hydrolysis by small GTP binding proteins of the Ras superfamily is a, universal reaction that controls multiple cellular regulations. Its, enzymic mechanism has been the subject of long-standing debates as to the, existence/identity of the general base and the electronic nature of its, transition state. Here we report the high-resolution crystal structure of, a small GTP binding protein, Rab11, solved in complex with GDP and Pi., Unexpectedly, a Pi oxygen and the GDP-cleaved oxygen are located less than, 2.5 A apart, suggesting that they share a proton, likely in the form of a, low-barrier hydrogen bond. This implies that the gamma-phosphate of GTP, was protonated; hence, that GTP acts as a general base. Furthermore, this, interaction should establish at, and stabilize, the transition ...
