Interaction of mitochondrial elongation factor Tu with aminoacyl-tRNA and elongation factor Ts.
Elongation factor (EF) Tu promotes the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA (aa-tRNA) to the acceptor site of the ribosome. This process requires the formation of a ternary complex (EF-Tu.GTP.aa-tRNA). EF-Tu is released from the ribosome as an EF-Tu.GDP complex. Exchange of GDP for GTP is carried out through the formation of a complex with EF-Ts (EF-Tu.Ts). Mammalian mitochondrial EF-Tu (EF-Tu(mt)) differ...
متن کاملRole of domains in Escherichia coli and mammalian mitochondrial elongation factor Ts in the interaction with elongation factor Tu.
Bovine mitochondrial elongation factor Ts (EF-Tsmt) stimulates the activity of Escherichia coli elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu). In contrast, E. coli EF-Ts is unable to stimulate mitochondrial EF-Tu. EF-Tsmt forms a tight complex with E. coli EF-Tu governed by an association constant of 8.6 x 10(10). This value is 100-fold stronger than the binding constant for the formation of the E. coli EF-Tu.T...
متن کاملIsolation and stability of ternary complexes of elongation factor Tu, GTP and aminoacyl-tRNA.
Intact, native EF-Tu, isolated using previously described methods and fully active in binding GTP, was never found to be fully active in binding aminoacyl-tRNA as judged by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) gel filtration and zone-interference gel-electrophoresis. In the presence of kirromycin, however, all these EF-Tu.GTP molecules bind aminoacyl-tRNA, although with a drastically r...
متن کاملThe Interface between Escherichia coli Elongation Factor Tu and Aminoacyl-tRNA
Nineteen of the highly conserved residues of Escherichia coli (E. coli) Elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) that form the binding interface with aa-tRNA were mutated to alanine to better understand how modifying the thermodynamic properties of EF-Tu-tRNA interaction can affect the decoding properties of the ribosome. Comparison of ΔΔG(o) values for binding EF-Tu to aa-tRNA show that the majority of th...
متن کاملDifferent regions of aminoacyl-tRNA regulate the function of elongation factor Tu.
In this work we show that intact aminoacyl-tRNA (aa-tRNA) and its 3' half-molecule, but not its 3' C-C-A-aa fragment, require selective ionic conditions for stimulating the mRNA-independent GTPase of elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) in the presence of ribosomes.l Stimulation by aa-tRNA and its 3' half-molecule is only observed at 20 and 30 mM Mg2+ and not at 10 mM, where they exert inhibitory activ...
