Abstract
A complementary DNA encoding the D100 poly-peptide of rat brain dynamin—a force-producing, microtubule-activated nucleotide triphosphatase—has been cloned and sequenced. The predicted amino acid sequence includes a guanine nucleotide-binding domain that is homologous with those of a family of antiviral factors, inducible by interferon and known as MX proteins, and with the product of the essential yeast vacuolar protein sorting gene VPS1. These relationships imply the existence of a new family of GTPases with physiological roles that may include microtubule-based motility and protein sorting.
