EF-Tu/IF-2/RF-3 family GTPase
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 C-terminal domain
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.

GTP-binding protein
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.

elongation factor Tu
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
