Protein Family Models

Elongation factor Tu consists of three structural domains, this is the second domain. This domain adopts a beta barrel structure. This the second domain is involved in binding to charged tRNA [1]. This domain is also found in other proteins such as elongation factor G and translation initiation factor IF-2. This domain is structurally related to Pfam:PF03143, and in fact has weak sequence matches to this domain. [1]. 7491491.

Elongation factor Tu consists of three structural domains, this is the third domain. This domain adopts a beta barrel structure. This the third domain is involved in binding to both charged tRNA [1] and binding to EF-Ts Pfam:PF00889 [2]. [1]. 7491491.

This domain contains a P-loop motif, also found in several other families such as Pfam:PF00071, Pfam:PF00025 and Pfam:PF00063. Elongation factor Tu consists of three structural domains, this plus two C-terminal beta barrel domains. Cryoelectron microscopy structure. [1]. 9311785.

EF-Tu; promotes GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the A-site of ribosomes during protein biosynthesis; when the tRNA anticodon matches the mRNA codon, GTP hydrolysis results; the inactive EF-Tu-GDP leaves the ribosome and release of GDP is promoted by elongation factor Ts. In certain microbial species EF-Tu has been shown to localize on the surface where it may function as an adhesin.

This HMM models orthologs of translation elongation factor EF-Tu in bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts, one of several GTP-binding translation factors found by the more general pfam HMM GTP_EFTU. The eukaryotic conterpart, eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 (eEF-1 alpha), is excluded from this model. EF-Tu is one of the most abundant proteins in bacteria, as well as one of the most highly conserved, and in a number of species the gene is duplicated with identical function. When bound to GTP, EF-Tu can form a complex with any (correctly) aminoacylated tRNA except those for initiation and for selenocysteine, in which case EF-Tu is replaced by other factors. Transfer RNA is carried to the ribosome in these complexes for protein translation. In certain microbial species EF-Tu has been shown to localize on the surface where it may function as an adhesin.
