Specificity of C1 phage binding to GTP-bound Rho family members. A: Kinetics of GTP loading on RhoA. GST-RhoA immobilized on gluthatione beads was loaded with 100 μM of GDP and GTPγS at 37°C. 1011clones of C1 phages were incubated with loaded (GTP or GDP) GST-RhoA-bound beads. Bound phages were detected with horseradish peroxydase-labeled anti-M13 using TMB as substrate. Results are expressed as absorbance at 480 nm. The graph is representative of 2 independents experiments. GST-RhoA, B and C (B) and GST-RhoB, Rac1 and Cdc42 (C) were loaded with 200 μM of GDP or GTPγS for 30 min and purified on glutathione ELISA plates. 1010 clones of C1 phages were incubated in each well. Bound phages were detected with horseradish peroxydase-labeled anti-M13 using TMB as substrate. Results are expressed as absorbance at 480 nm. Amount of GST protein was quantified with goat anti-GST antibody followed by horseradish peroxydase-labeled anti-goat (not shown). The graph is representative of 3 experiments, each binding assay performed in duplicate. Insert: Specific radioactivity binding of [35S] GTPγS on RhoB, Rac1 and Cdc42. GST-RhoB, Rac1 and Cdc42 were loaded with 20 nM [35S] GTPγS in the presence (non specific binding) or not (total binding) of 200 μM unlabeled GTP for 30 minutes at 37°C and purified on gluthatione ELISA plates. Radioactivity was measured in each well. The difference between the total binding and the non specific binding represent the specific binding. The graph is representative of 2 experiments, each performed in triplicate.
