Received January 13, 1992 S~mmarg: A stimulatory GDP/GTP exchange protein for smg p21 (smg GDS) stimulated the binding of guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate (GTPYS) to smg p21B. Chlorpromazine (CPZ) inhibited the smg GDS action in a manner competitive with smg GDS and in a manner noncompetitive with smg p21B. In spite of the inhibitory effect of CPZ on the smg GDS action, it counteracted the inhibition of the smg GDS action by acidic phospholipids. These results suggest that CPZ interacts with smg p21B, smg GDS, or both, and thereby inhibits the smg GDS action, and that CPZ also interacts with the acidic phospholipids and thereby counteracts their inhibitory effect on the smg GDS action. 0 1992 Academic Press, Inc.
The smg p21 family, consisting of A and B members, belongs to a ras p2l/ras p21-like small G protein superfamily (1,2). smg p21A is identical to the raplA and Krev-1 proteins and smg p21B is identical

Discussion
We have shown here that CPZ inhibits the smg GDS action to stimulate the binding of [35 SIGTPYS to smg p21B without affecting the basal velocity of its GDP/GTP exchange reaction. CPZ is a cationic amphiphilic drug, mechanism of the inhibition previous
