Protein Domain : IPR004541

Type:  Family Name:  Translation elongation factor EFTu/EF1A, bacterial/organelle
Description:  Translation elongation factors are responsible for two main processes during protein synthesis on the ribosome [, , ]. EF1A (or EF-Tu) is responsible for the selection and binding of the cognate aminoacyl-tRNA to the A-site (acceptor site) of the ribosome. EF2 (or EF-G) is responsible for the translocation of the peptidyl-tRNA from the A-site to the P-site (peptidyl-tRNA site) of the ribosome, thereby freeing the A-site for the next aminoacyl-tRNA to bind. Elongation factors are responsible for achieving accuracy of translation and both EF1A and EF2 are remarkably conserved throughout evolution.EF1A (also known as EF-1alpha or EF-Tu) is a G-protein. It forms a ternary complex of EF1A-GTP-aminoacyltRNA. The binding of aminoacyl-tRNA stimulates GTP hydrolysis by EF1A, causing a conformational change in EF1A that causes EF1A-GDP to detach from the ribosome, leaving the aminoacyl-tRNA attached at the A-site. Only the cognate aminoacyl-tRNA can induce the required conformational change in EF1A through its tight anticodon-codon binding [, ]. EF1A-GDP is returned to its active state, EF1A-GTP, through the action of another elongation factor, EF1B (also known as EF-Ts or EF-1beta/gamma/delta).This entry represents EF1A (or EF-Tu) proteins found primarily in bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts. Eukaryotic and archaeal EF1A () are excluded from this entry. When bound to GTP, EF-Tu can form a complex with any (correctly) aminoacylated tRNA except those for initiation and for selenocysteine, in which case EF-Tu is replaced by other factors [].
