Structural highlights 1efu is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia coli. The September 2006 RCSB PDB Molecule of the Month feature on Elongation Factors by David S. Goodsell is 10.2210/rcsb_pdb/mom_2006_9. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, RCSB, PDBsum Function [EFTS_ECOLI] Associates with the EF-Tu.GDP complex and induces the exchange of GDP to GTP. It remains bound to the aminoacyl-tRNA.EF-Tu.GTP complex up to the GTP hydrolysis stage on the ribosome.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00050] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMed The crystal structure of the EF-Tu.EF-Ts complex from Escherichia coli has been determined to a resolution of 2.5 A. The complex contains two subunits of each of the elongation factors. The two EF-Ts molecules form a tight dimer, but there is little contact between the two EF-Tu molecules. The interaction of EF-Ts with EF-Tu results principally in the disruption of the Mg2+ ion binding site, thereby reducing the affinity of EF-Tu for guanine nucleotides. The structure of the Escherichia coli EF-Tu.EF-Ts complex at 2.5 A resolution.,Kawashima T, Berthet-Colominas C, Wulff M, Cusack S, Leberman R Nature. 1996 Feb 8;379(6565):511-8.
