| - | Specifically, | + | 1J1V is a DnaA found in E. Coli that plays a role in the replication of DNA. Specifically, it is involved in the initiation of DNA replication by promoting the formation of the DNA Polymerase III holoenzyme at the origin of replication. This is accomplished as the DnaA binds to a specific consensus sequence known as the DnaA box sequence which can be found upstream of the origin of replication. The DnaA protein recognizes these sequences, for which it has a high affinity, and binds to the major groove; as a result of the binding, DNA bends 28 degrees. Interestingly enough, the DnaA box sequences that are much further upstream are what the protein shows greater affinity for, rather than those that are relatively close to the origin of replication. After the DnaA proteins bind to the DnaA box, the formation of the DNA Polymerase III subunits into the holoenzyme at the origin of replication is initiated. |

'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.
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.

which play a crucial role in binding to the ribosome during translation.
'Function"
The protein complex participates in placing the amino acids in their correct order when messenger RNA is translated into a protein sequence on the ribosome by promoting GTP-dependent binding of tRNA to the A site of the ribosome. In other words, it is involved with elongation during polypeptide synthesis.
