Specific are highlighted here. The ligands listed above, GDP, Phe, and Mg+2 ion each attach at these locations which are still being explored.

which play a crucial role in binding to the ribosome during translation. They form positive pockets with which negative amino acids can bind to.

'Molecules it Interacts With and where '

The protein binds to GDP as well as the following ligands in order to promote the attachment of the protein complex to the ribosome A site.

PHOSHOAMINOPHOSPHONIC ACID-GUANYLATE ESTER

PHENYLALANINE MAGNESIUM ION

'Origin'

It has domains that are created in yeast (phenyl-transfer RNA) , in the heat resistant Thermus aquaticus (EF-Tu elongation factor, and can be synthetically manufactured.

'Structure'

It has 3 domains. G proteins, Elongation Factors, and the EF-Tu/eEF-1alpha/eIF2-gamma C-terminal domain. It is composed of 6 chains, which combine in alignment.

which play a crucial role in binding to the ribosome during translation.

This is a 27 chain protein structure with 11244 amino acid alpha carbons. Like DNA polymerase, this complex is made up of multiple polypeptide chains with four different types of subunits, called α, β, β′, and σ. The σ subunit is relatively weak and can be separated leaving a core polymerase consisting of two α, one β, and one β′ subunits. The core polymerase can catalyze the polymerization of DNA into RNA by its self. The σ subunit is not required for the basic catalytic activity of the enzyme however, the core polymerase cannot bind to the proper DNA sequence and without it.

Function

Location

In prokaryotic cells transcription and translation are coupled. The catalytic activity of the complex takes place in the cytoplasm of the prokaryote E. coli. E. coli is a gram-negative bacterium that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms.
