Cloning and nucleotide sequence of a tobacco chloroplast translational elongation factor, EF-Tu.
Translational elongation factor is an essential component for protein synthesis that functions by binding aminoacylated tRNAs to the ribosome-mRNA complex. This function is performed by EF-Tu in prokaryotes and eukaryotic organelles, and by EF-la in eukaryotes (for review see Miller and Weissbach, 1977). In lower photosynthetic eukaryotes, including Chlamydomonas (Baldauf and Palmer, 1990) and ...
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 کاملRecognition of the universally conserved 3'-CCA end of tRNA by elongation factor EF-Tu.
Escherichia coli tRNA(Val) with pyrimidine substitutions for the universally conserved 3'-terminal adenine can be readily aminoacylated. It cannot, however, transfer valine into polypeptides. Conversely, despite being a poor substrate for valyl-tRNA synthetase, tRNA(Val) with a 3'-terminal guanine is active in in vitro polypeptide synthesis. To better understand the function of the 3'-CCA seque...
متن کاملGTPase activation of elongation factor EF-Tu by the ribosome during decoding.
We have used single-particle reconstruction in cryo-electron microscopy to determine a structure of the Thermus thermophilus ribosome in which the ternary complex of elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu), tRNA and guanine nucleotide has been trapped on the ribosome using the antibiotic kirromycin. This represents the state in the decoding process just after codon recognition by tRNA and the resulting GT...
متن کاملTheoretical Insights on the Mechanism of the GTP Hydrolysis Catalyzed by the Elongation Factor Tu (EF-Tu).
The purpose of this work is to have a better understanding of the mechanism of GTP hydrolysis catalyzed by the elongation factor Tu. Two main aspects are being discussed in the literature: the associative or dissociative character of the process and the nature of nucleophile activation. The calculations of the QM subsystem have been done by means of the M06-2X density functional and the split v...
