Recombination between elongation factor 1alpha genes from distantly related archaeal lineages.
Homologous recombination (HR) and lateral gene transfer are major processes in genome evolution. The combination of the two processes, HR between genes in different species, has been documented but is thought to be restricted to very similar sequences in relatively closely related organisms. Here we report two cases of interspecific HR in the gene encoding the core translational protein transla...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence of Mycobacterium leprae elongation factor (EF-Tu) gene.
The elongation factor EF-Tu is essential in bacterial translation and has sequences which are highly conserved even in phylogenetically distant bacteria. This allowed us to show that Gram negative bacteria had two copies of the tuf gene whereas most Gram positive bacteria including Mycobacteria had one copy of this gene (1). The agent of leprosy, Mycobacterium leprae, has been isolated from nat...
متن کاملMechanism of elongation factor (EF)-Ts-catalyzed nucleotide exchange in EF-Tu. Contribution of contacts at the guanine base.
Nucleotide exchange in elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) is catalyzed by elongation factor Ts (EF-Ts). Similarly to other GTP-binding proteins, the structural changes in the P loop and the Mg(2+) binding site are known to be important for nucleotide release from EF-Tu. In the present paper, we determine the contribution of the contacts between helix D of EF-Tu at the base side of the nucleotide and ...
متن کاملStructural Basis for Polyproline-Mediated Ribosome Stalling and Rescue by the Translation Elongation Factor EF-P.
Ribosomes synthesizing proteins containing consecutive proline residues become stalled and require rescue via the action of uniquely modified translation elongation factors, EF-P in bacteria, or archaeal/eukaryotic a/eIF5A. To date, no structures exist of EF-P or eIF5A in complex with translating ribosomes stalled at polyproline stretches, and thus structural insight into how EF-P/eIF5A rescue ...
متن کاملThe crystal structure of elongation factor EF-Tu from Thermus aquaticus in the GTP conformation.
BACKGROUND Elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) is a GTP-binding protein that is crucial for protein biosynthesis. In the GTP form of the molecule, EF-Tu binds tightly to aminoacyl-tRNA, forming a ternary complex that interacts with the ribosomal acceptor site. During this interaction, GTP is hydrolyzed, and EF-Tu.GDP is ejected. RESULTS The crystal structure of EF-Tu from Thermus aquaticus, complexe...
