Protein Family Models

Elongation factor G (EF-G) catalyzes the translocation step of translation. It consists of five structural domains, this entry represents the second domain [1]. This domain adopts a beta barrel structure. This family also includes domains found in other translation factors such as translation initiation factor IF-2, peptide chain release factor, etc. Paper describing PDB structure 1dar. [1]. 8736554.

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.

Proteins with a small GTP-binding domain recognized by this model include Ras, RhoA, Rab11, translation elongation factor G, translation initiation factor IF-2, tetratcycline resistance protein TetM, CDC42, Era, ADP-ribosylation factors, tdhF, and many others. In some proteins the domain occurs more than once. This model recognizes a large number of small GTP-binding proteins and related domains in larger proteins. Note that the alpha chains of heterotrimeric G proteins are larger proteins in which the NKXD motif is separated from the GxxxxGK[ST] motif (P-loop) by a long insert and are not easily detected by this model.
