With the recent explosion of available genome sequence data, a widely distributed bacterial subfamily of GTP-binding proteins was discovered, represented by the Escherichia coli Era and the Bacillus subtilis Obg proteins. Although only a limited number of the GTP-binding proteins belonging to the subfamily have been experimentally characterized, and their function remains unknown, the available data suggests that many of them are essential to bacterial growth. When the complete genomic sequence of B. subtilis was surveyed for genes encoding GTP-binding proteins of the Era/Obg family, nine such genes were identified. As a first step in elucidating the functional networks of those nine GTP-binding proteins, data presented here indicates that six of them are essential for B. subtilis viability. Additionally, it is shown that the six essential proteins are able to specifically bind GTP and GDP in vitro. Experimental depletion of the essential GTP-binding proteins was examined in the context of cell morphology and chromosome replication, and it was found that two proteins, Bex and YqeH, appeared to participate in the regulation of initiation of chromosome replication. Collectively, these results suggest that members of the GTP-binding Era/Obg family are important proteins with precise, yet still not fully understood, roles in bacterial growth and viability."xsd:string
