==Overview==
==Overview==
Here, we present the 1.9-A crystal structure of the nucleotide-free GTPase, domain of dynamin 1 from Rattus norvegicus. The structure corresponds to, an extended form of the canonical GTPase fold observed in Ras proteins., Both nucleotide-binding switch motifs are well resolved, adopting, conformations that closely resemble a GTP-bound state not previously, observed for nucleotide-free GTPases. Two highly conserved arginines, Arg-66 and Arg-67, greatly restrict the mobility of switch I and are, ideally positioned to relay information about the nucleotide state to, other parts of the protein. Our results support a model in which switch I, residue Arg-59 gates GTP binding in an assembly-dependent manner and the, GTPase effector domain functions as an assembly-dependent GTPase, activating protein in the fashion of RGS-type GAPs.
