Possible implication of a lower affinity of the ATP pocket in the moderate growth defect induced by Rho from P. aeruginosa. a Multiple sequence alignment showing the mutation Met-186-Ile within the ATP pocket of Rho from P. aeruginosa as compared to that of E. coli and other bacterial strains. b Rho protomer crystal structure PDB 1XPU [26] showing the ATP pocket where the adenine moiety of ATP is stacked between the side chains of the two conserved amino acid residues Met186 and Phe355
