Abstract

We isolated two rice cDNA clones (ric1 and ric2) encoding proteins homologous to
the ras-related small GTP-binding protein. The amino acid sequences of ric1 and
ric2 are conserved in four regions involved in GTP binding and hydrolysis which
are characteristic in the ras and ras-related small GTP-binding protein genes.
In addition, two consecutive cysteine residues near the carboxyl-terminal end
required for membrane anchoring are also present in ric1 and ric2. The ric1 and
ric2 proteins synthesized in Escherichia coli possessed GTPase activity (i.e.
hydrolysis of GTP to GDP).
