YsxC belongs to the YihA family of TRAFAC class GTPases. The protein is involved in the biogenesis of ribosomes and is essential for the survival of a wide range of bacteria. Here, crystal structures of YsxC from Thermotoga maritima and its complex with GDP were determined at maximal resolutions of 2.3 and 1.9 Å, respectively. Major structural differences are observed in the switch I region, which is disordered in the apo form but exists in both an `open' and a `closed' conformation in the GDP-b ...[more]
