摘要
It was previously reported that unlike the other obg/cgtA GTPases, the Vibrio harveyi cgtA(V) is not essential. Here we show that cgtA, was not disrupted in these studies and is, in fact, essential for viability. Depletion of CgtA(V) did not result in cell elongation. CgtA(V) is associated with the large ribosomal particle. In light of our results, we predict that the V. harveyi CgtA(V) protein plays a similar essential role to that seen for Obg/CgtA proteins in other bacteria.
