title: Identification of a major GTP-binding protein in bovine aortic smooth muscle membranes as smg p21, a GTP-binding protein having the same effector domain as ras p21s.
abstract: At least two GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) with Mr values of about 20,000 were extracted from bovine aortic smooth muscle membranes by sodium cholate. The most abundant G protein (22K G) was purified to near homogeneity by successive column chromatographies of Ultrogel AcA-44, phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B, hydroxyapatite and Mono Q HR5/5. 22K G showed kinetic and physical properties very similar to those of smg p21, a G protein recently isolated from bovine brain and human platelet membranes, having the same effector domain as ras p21s. Moreover, 22K G was recognized specifically by the anti-smg p21 antibody. These results indicate that the major G protein in bovine aortic smooth muscle membranes is smg p21.
