Hydrolysis of GTP by the photoreceptor G protein transducin (G(talpha)) was found to occur with kinetics identical to the inactivation of its effector cGMP phosphodiesterase (PDE), but was too slow (tens of seconds) in dilute rod outer segment (ROS) suspensions to account for subsecond recovery of the light response. Raising the concentration of ROS membranes increased the rates of GTP hydrolysis and PDE inactivation in parallel as much as 6-fold. Holo-PDE and its gamma subunit had weak effects on GTPase kinetics (
