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

- ABSTRACT
- Bacterial strains, plasmids, and growth conditions.
- The V. harveyi cgtAV gene is essential.
- The previously reported cgtA::Tn5TpMCS mutant, BB7X, encodes a wild-type cgtAV gene.
- Expression of the V. harveyi folA gene in E. coli results in trimethoprim resistance.
- The V. harveyi CgtAV protein is associated with the 50S ribosomal particle.
