title: Specific binding of guanosine 5'-diphosphate with the NS protein of vesicular stomatitis virus.
abstract: A soluble protein fraction containing L, NS, G and M proteins of vesicular stomatitis virus was prepared by treatment of Triton-disrupted virions with 0.8M NaCl. Incubation of the soluble fraction with beta-32P GDP followed by analysis of the proteins by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed specific labeling of the NS protein. The NS-GDP complex was sensitive to phosphatase treatment, suggesting non-covalent binding. No binding of GDP to NS protein was detected when the soluble fraction was pre-heated at 100 degrees C for 1 min. or Mg++ was omitted from the incubation mixture. The binding was inhibited by ATP consistent with competition for a common nucleotide binding site.
