Abstract excerpt
Der, an essential Escherichia coli tandem GTPase, has been implicated in 50S subunit biogenesis. The rrmJ gene encodes a methyltransferase that modifies the U2552 residue of 23S rRNA, and its deletion causes a severe growth defect. Peculiarly, overexpression of Der suppresses growth impairment. In this study, using an rrmJ-deletion strain, we demonstrated that two GTPase domains of Der regulate its association...
