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]

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
