Specificity of elongation factor EF-TU for hydrophobic peptides

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2002
The elongation factor EF-Tu carries aminoacyl-tRNAs to the A-site of the ribosome during the elongation process of protein biosynthesis. We, and others, have recently reported that the Escherichia coli EF-Tu interacts with unfolded and denatured proteins and behaves like a chaperone in protein folding and protection against protein thermal denaturation.

CTP can replace GTP in reactions catalyzed by eukaryotic peptide elongation factor 1 [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1984
In several reactions catalyzed by highly purified peptide elongation factor 1 from rabbit reticulocytes, GTP may be fully replaced by CTP but not by ATP or UTP. This holds true for the factor‐dependent binding of aminoacyl‐tRNA to ribosomes, GTPase activity, GTP‐dependent autophosphorylation of the factor protein and binding of cholesteryl 14 ...

A mutant of Escherichia coli blocked in peptide elongation: Altered elongation factor Ts

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1974
Abstract Among our transfer RNA-dependent growth mutants, one, HAK88, was found that carries an altered elongation factor Ts. The activity of mutant EFTs to bind GDP to EFTu, or to form the ternary complex (aminoacyl-tRNA-EFTu-GTP) is thermolabile. The effect of magnesium on the formation of EFTu-GDP from the EFTu-EFTs complex of HAK8 shows that a ...

Anchoring of Peptide Elongation Factor EF-1α by Phosphatidylinositol at the Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane

Journal of Biochemistry, 1989
The cytoplasmic peptide elongation factor, EF-1 alpha, is anchored at the endoplasmic reticulum membrane by phosphatidylinositol via ethanolamine bridging presumably to Asp306 of the protein.

Peptide Elongation Factor 1 from Yeasts: Purification and Biochemical Characterization of Peptide Elongation Factors lα and 1β(α) from Saccharomyces carlsbergensis and Schizosaccharomyces pombe1

The Journal of Biochemistry, 1988
Cytoplasmic elongation factor 1 alpha (EF-1 alpha) [corrected] was purified to homogeneity in high yield from the two different yeasts Saccharomyces carlsbergensis (S. carls.) and Schizosaccharomyces pombe (S. pombe). The purification was easily achieved by CM-Sephadex column chromatography of the breakthrough fractions from DEAE-Sephadex ...

A novel reaction of reticulocyte peptide-chain elongation factor, EF2, with guanosine nucleotides

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1973
Abstract The formation of phenylalanyl puromycin from phenylalanyl-tRNA, bound nonenzymically or enzymically to reticulocyte ribosomes, requires the peptide-chain elongation factor, EF2 2 , and GTP. However the GTP analogue, GDPCP, may replace GTP to a significant extent in this reaction.

The role of cholesteryl 14‐methylhexadecanoate in the function of eukaryotic peptide elongation factor 1

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1985
The binding of [3H]cholesteryl 14‐methylhexadecanoate by a highly purified peptide elongation factor 1 from rabbit reticulocytes is significantly enhanced by GTP and CTP, much less by guanosine 5′‐[β,γ‐methylene]‐triphosphate and not at all by ATP or UTP.

Peptide Chain Elongation: Discrimination against the Initiator Transfer RNA by Microbial Amino-acid Polymerization Factors

Nature, 1968
The amino-acid polymerization factors S1 and S3 form complexes with most aminoacyl-tRNA species, including met-tRNAM, but not F-met-tRNAF and not met-tRNAF. This discrimination may be a basis for avoiding one kind of ambiguity in translation.

The Integrity of the Sarcin/Ricin Domain of 23 S Ribosomal RNA Is Not Required for Elongation Factor-independent Peptide Synthesis

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2008
The elongation stage of protein synthesis consists of repeated cycles of the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA, peptide bond formation, and translocation. The process is normally catalyzed by the elongation factors Tu and G; however, the reactions can proceed, at least in prescribed and limited circumstance, in the absence of the elongation factors, a finding ...
