The gene

Basic information

  • Coordinates:

Phenotypes of a mutant

essential PubMed

Database entries

  • DBTBS entry: [1]
  • SubtiList entry: [2]

Additional information

The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

  • Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity: Binds and hydrolyzes GTP and readily exchanges GDP for GTP
  • Protein family: Era/Obg family

Extended information on the protein

  • Kinetic information:
  • 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.

  • Modification:
  • Cofactor(s):

GDP, GTP and probably ppGpp

  • Effectors of protein activity:
  • Interactions:

Interaction with Rsb proteins.

  • Localization:

Database entries

  • Swiss prot entry:[3]
  • KEGG entry:[4]
  • E.C. number:

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.

Expression and regulation

  • Regulation:
  • Regulatory mechanism:
  • Additional information:

Biological materials

  • Mutant:
  • Expression vector:
  • lacZ fusion:
  • GFP fusion:
  • two-hybrid system:
  • Antibody:

Labs working on this gene/protein

Your additional remarks
