The Ras binding domain( RBD) is a highly conserved domain in the C-terminal region of Ral guanine nucleotide dissociation stimulator( Ral GDS),which functions as cross-linking domain between Ras and Ras-related proteins. Crystallization was setup using in situ proteolysis method of sitting drops with Red Wings and SGC-I screens. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were obtained by mixing equal volumes of the protein solution and the reservoir solution [2 mol / L( NH4)2SO4,0. 2 mol/L Na Ac,0. 1 mol / L N-hydroxyethyl piperazine ethanesulfonic acid( HEPES),5% 1,3-methyl-propanediol( MPD),p H 7. 5] with 1 ∶ 100( w / w) endoproteinase Glu-C. The differences of Ras-interacting regions between the mouse and human Ral GDS-RBD were revealed by X-ray diffraction analysis and the results showed that the differences were mainly on the C-terminal of Ras-interacting region. Glu838 and Glu840amino acid residues of human Ral GDS-RBD involve in the formation of hydrogen bonds between Ral GDS and Ras proteins,whereas at the same positions of mouse Ral GDS-RBD,hydrogen bonds form through Asp820 and Asp822. The overall structure of human Ral GDS-RBD adopts an ubiquitin-like conformation,which is characterized by a ββαββαβ-type tertiary structure,and the C-terminal residues of one monomer form parallel β-sheet interaction with theβ-strand of another molecule.
