Abstract excerpt
Bacillus subtilis CpgA (circularly permuted GTPase) is a ribosome assembly GTPase that has a secondary function as a metabolite proofreading enzyme. CpgA hydrolyzes 4-phosphoerythronate, a toxic metabolite produced from erythrose-4-phosphate by glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). In a ∆cpgA strain, carbon sources that feed into the pentose phosphate pathway trigger metabolic intoxication. This...
