摘要


Developmentally regulated G-proteins (DRGs) are a highly conserved family of GTP-binding proteins found in archaea, plants, fungi and animals, indicating important roles in fundamental pathways. Their function is poorly understood, but they have been implicated in cell division, proliferation, and growth, as well as several medical conditions. Individual subfamilies within the G-protein superfamily possess unique nucleotide binding and hydrolysis rates that are intrinsic to their cellular function, and so characterization of these rates for a particular G-protein may provide insight into its cellular activity. We have produced recombinant active DRG protein using a bacterial expression system and refolding, and performed biochemical characterization of their GTP binding and hydrolysis. We show that recombinant Arabidopsis thaliana atDRG1 and atDRG2a are able to bind GDP and GTP. We also show that DRGs can hydrolyze GTP in vitro without the assistance of GTPase-activating proteins and guanine exchange factors. The atDRG proteins hydrolyze GTP at a relatively slow rate (0.94x10(-3)min(-1) for DRG1 and 1.36x10(-3)min(-1) for DRG2) that is consistent with their nearest characterized relatives, the Obg subfamily. The ability of DRGs to bind nucleotide substrates without assistance, their slow rate of GTP hydrolysis, heat stress activation and domain conservation suggest a possible role as a chaperone in ribosome assembly in response to stress as it has been suggested for the Obg proteins, a different but related G-protein subfamily.
