  • This gene is a member of the following [SW|regulons]

  • [SW|ComK regulon], [SW|DnaA regulon]
  • Gene

    Coordinates on the chromosome (coding sequence)
    4,211,510 -> 4,212,889

    Phenotypes of a mutant

  • inactivation of ''[SW|thdF]'' reduces sporulation efficiency to 21.9% that of wild type cells; longer mother cells, some with aberrant septa and forespores [Pubmed|26735940]
  • The protein

    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
  • Paralogous protein(s)

  • [protein|search|Era], [protein|search|Obg], [protein|search|YphC], [protein|search|YsxC], [protein|search|RbgA], [protein|search|YqeH], [protein|search|ThdF], [protein|search|YyaF], [protein|search|YnbA]
  • Structure

  • [PDB|1XZP] (from ''Thermotoga maritima'', 44% identity) [Pubmed|15616586]
  • [SW|Localization]

  • cytoplasm (according to Swiss-Prot)
  • [SW|Interactions]

  • [protein|search|GidA]-[protein|search|ThdF] (suggested by interaction of ''E. coli'' counterparts [Pubmed|19801413] and by co-localization on the chromosome)
  • Additional information

  • Information on the corresponding protein from ''E. coli'': [http://BioCyc.org/ECOLI/NEW-IMAGE?type=ENZYME&object=EG10997-MONOMER EcoCyc]
  • MnmE required for wild-type 5-methylaminomethyl-2-thiouridine modification of tRNA, interacts with [protein|search|GidA]. MnmE also appears to play a role in oxidation of thiophene and furan compounds and regulates glutamate-dependent acid resistance.
