The protein

Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

• Binds and hydrolyzes GTP and readily exchanges GDP for GTP

Protein family

• GTP1/OBG family (according to Swiss-Prot) Era/Obg family

Paralogous protein(s)

[SW|Domains]

• Obg possesses 3 domains: A N-terminal glycine-rich domain (1–158), a GTP binding domain (159–342) and a C-terminal TGS domain (343–428). The TGS domain has no known function, but it is named for three protein families in which it is found, ThrRS, GTPase, and SpoT.

[SW|Cofactors]

• GDP, GTP and probably ppGpp

Structure

• [PDB|1LNZ] [pubmed|12429099]

Additional information

• The biochemical analysis of bacterial and human Obg proteins combined with the structural observation of the ppGpp nucleotide within the Obg active site suggest a potential role for ppGpp modulation of Obg function in ''B. subtilis''.
