Abstract excerpt
The cytoplasmic membrane protein CvaB, involved in colicin V secretion in Escherichia coli, belongs to the ABC-transporter family in which ATP hydrolysis is typically the driving force for substrate transport. However, our previous studies indicated that the nucleotide-binding domain of CvaB could also bind and hydrolyze GTP and, indeed, highly preferred GTP over ATP at low temperatures. In this study, we have...
