It remains bound to the aminoacyl-tRNA.EF-Tu.GTP complex up to the GTP hydrolysis stage on the ribosome (By similarity).RDRP_BPQBE This enzyme is part of the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase complex. Publication Abstract from PubMed Core Qbeta replicase comprises the Qbeta virus-encoded RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (beta-subunit) and the host Escherichia coli translational elongation factors EF-Tu and EF-Ts. The functions of the host proteins in the viral replicase are not clear. Structural analyses of RNA polymerization by core Qbeta replicase reveal that at the initiation stage, the 3'-adenine of the template RNA provides a stable platform for de novo initiation. EF-Tu in Qbeta replicase forms a template exit channel with the beta-subunit. At the elongation stages, the C-terminal region of the beta-subunit, assisted by EF-Tu, splits the temporarily double-stranded RNA between the template and nascent RNAs before translocation of the single-stranded template RNA into the exit channel. Therefore, EF-Tu in Qbeta replicase modulates RNA elongation processes in a distinct manner from its established function in protein synthesis.
