The signal recognition particle (SRP) receptor
(SR) is a heterodimer of two polypeptides (SR
Nucleotide-dependent Binding of the GTPase Domain of
the Signal Recognition Particle Receptor
-Subunit to the
-Subunit*
and SR
) that each
contain a GTP-binding domain. The GTP-binding domain in the peripheral
membrane SR
subunit has a well defined role in regulating targeting
of SRP-ribosome-nascent chain complexes to the translocon. The only well established function for the transmembrane SR
subunit is anchoring SR
on the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Deletion of the
amino-terminal transmembrane domain of SR
did not affect receptor dimerization, but revealed a cryptic translocation signal that
overlaps the GTPase domain. We demonstrate that the domain of SR
that binds SR
does so by binding directly to the nucleotide-bound form of the GTPase domain of SR
. An SR
mutant containing an amino
acid substitution that allows the GTPase domain to bind XTP dimerized
with SR
most efficiently in the presence of XTP or XDP, but not ATP.
Our results suggest an additional level of regulation of SRP receptor
function based on regulated dissociation of the receptor subunits.
