Function
EFTU1_ECOLI This protein promotes the GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the A-site of ribosomes during protein biosynthesis.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00118] May play an important regulatory role in cell growth and in the bacterial response to nutrient deprivation.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00118]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Structural details of the guanosine diphosphate binding to a modified form of elongation factor Tu from Escherichia coli, resulting from X-ray crystallographic studies, are reported. The protein elements that take part in the nucleotide binding are located in four loops connecting beta-strands with alpha-helices. These loops correspond to regions in primary sequences which show a high degree of homology when compared with other prokaryotic and eukaryotic elongation factors and initiation factor 2.
