Additional information

The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

  • Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity: Binds and hydrolyzes GTP and readily exchanges GDP for GTP
  • Protein family: MnmE subfamily (according to Swiss-Prot) Era/Obg family

Extended information on the protein

  • Kinetic information:
  • Domains:
  • Modification:
  • Cofactor(s):
  • Effectors of protein activity:
  • Interactions: GidA-ThdF (suggested by interaction of E. coli counterparts PubMed and by co-localization on the chromosome)
  • Localization: cytoplasm (according to Swiss-Prot)

Database entries

  • Structure:
  • KEGG entry: [3]
  • E.C. number:

Additional information

Information on the corresponding protein from E. coli: EcoCyc MnmE required for wild-type 5-methylaminomethyl-2-thiouridine modification of tRNA, interacts with GidA. MnmE also appears to play a role in oxidation of thiophene and furan compounds and regulates glutamate-dependent acid resistance.
