MazG is a homodimeric a-helical protein that belongs to the superfamily of all-alpha NTP pyrophosphatases. Its function has been connected to the regulation of the toxin-antitoxin module mazEF, implicated in programmed growth arrest/cell death of Escherichia coli cells under conditions of amino acid starvation. The goal of the first detailed biophysical study of a member of the all-alpha NTP pyrophosphatase superfamily, presented here, is to improve molecular understanding of the unfolding of this type of proteins.
