| Type: | Family | Name: | Translation factor GUF1 homologue, organellar chromatophore |
| Description: | Elongation factor 4, also known as ribosomal back-translocase LepA, is present in bacteria and mitochondria, and is required for accurate and efficient protein synthesis under certain stress conditions []. The yeast counterpart of LepA is known as GUF1 []. GUF1 promotes protein synthesis and acts as a fidelity factor of the translation reaction, by catalysing a one-codon backward translocation of tRNAs on improperly translocated ribosomes.This entry represents translation factor GUF1 homologues from plants and cyanobacteria (chloroplastic and from organellar chromatophores). | Short Name: | GUFP |
