Structural highlights
Disease
[EFTS_HUMAN] Defects in TSFM are the cause of combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency type 3 (COXPD3) [MIM:610505]. Defects in the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation system result in devastating, mainly multisystem, diseases. COXPD3 symptoms include severe metabolic acidosis with encephalomyopathy or with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Patients show a severe defect in mitochondrial translation leading to a failure to assemble adequate amounts of three of the oxidative phosphorylation complexes.[1]
Function
[EFTS_HUMAN] Associates with the EF-Tu.GDP complex and induces the exchange of GDP to GTP. It remains bound to the aminoacyl-tRNA.EF-Tu.GTP complex up to the GTP hydrolysis stage on the ribosome (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_03135]
