| UniProt functional annotation for P50743 | |||
| UniProt code: P50743. |
| Organism: | Bacillus subtilis (strain 168). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus. | |
| Function: | GTPase that plays an essential role in the late steps of ribosome biogenesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16997968}. | |
| Subunit: | Cofractionates with the 70S ribosome; association is stabilized by the non-hydrolyzable GTP analog GMPPNP, and inhibited by GTP or GDP. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | Essential for growth, it cannot be disrupted. Depletion experiments show that cells become longer and abnormally curved, with nucleoid condensation. Cells have many fewer 70S ribosomes; the large ribosomal subunit is 45S and is missing proteins L16, L27, L36 and interacts with 2 large non-ribosomal proteins. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12427945}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Estimated to be present at 7000 copies per cell. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the TRAFAC class TrmE-Era-EngA-EngB-Septin-like GTPase superfamily. EngA (Der) GTPase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=U32164; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
