THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF ELONGATION FACTOR G COMPLEXED WITH GDP, AT 2.7 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTION
Overview
Elongation factor G (EF-G) catalyzes the translocation step of protein, synthesis in bacteria, and like the other bacterial elongation factor, EF-Tu--whose structure is already known--it is a member of the GTPase, superfamily. We have determined the crystal structure of EF-G--GDP from, Thermus thermophilus. It is an elongated molecule whose large, N-terminal, domain resembles the G domain of EF-Tu, except for a 90 residue insert, which covers a surface that is involved in nucleotide exchange in EF-Tu, and other G proteins. The tertiary structures of the second domains of, EF-G and EF-Tu are nearly identical, but the relative placement of the, first two domains in EF-G--GDP resembles that seen in EF-Tu--GTP, not, EF-Tu--GDP. The remaining three domains of EF-G look like RNA binding, domains, and have no counterparts in EF-Tu.
About this Structure
