“…HeLa membranes (~30 μg of total protein) prepared as previously described [4,5] were added to a reaction mixture that contained 27.5 mM Hepes (pH 7.4), 2.75 mM MgOAc, 65 mM KOAc, 5 mM EGTA, 1.8 mM CaCl 2 , 1 mM ATP, 5 mM creatine phosphate, 0.2 IU rabbit muscle creatine phosphokinase, rat liver cytosol (~25 μg total protein, depleted of GAPDH [29]), 1 μm GST-GDP Dissociation Inhibitor-1 or −2 [33], and 2.0 μm GTPγS [32,34]. Purified recombinant GAPDH or GAPDH (Pro 234 Ser) prepared as described above, was added at the concentrations indicated under “Results,” and the reaction mix incubated at 32 °C for the specified times in the presence or absence of purified recombinant in vitro isoprenylated Rab1 or Rab2 [16,29].…”
