Amino acid residues in the CDC25 guanine nucleotide exchange factor critical for interaction with Ras.

Department of Biological Sciences, University of Southern California, Los Angeles 90038.

ABSTRACT

Previously we found that negatively charged residues at positions 62, 63, and 69 of H-Ras are involved in binding to the CDC25 guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF). Using site-directed mutagenesis, we have changed conserved, positively charged residues of CDC25GEF to glutamic acid. We find the nonfunctional CDC25R1374E mutant and the nonfunctional H-RasE63K mutant cooperate in suppression of the loss of CDC25 function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Also, peptides corresponding to residues 1364 to 1383 of CDC25GEF inhibit interaction between GEFs and H-Ras. We propose that residues 1374 of CDC25GEF and 63 of H-Ras form an ion pair and that when this ion pair is reversed, functional interaction can still occur.
