Description

IPR036433 is a Elongation factor EF1B gamma, C-terminal domain superfamily.

<p>Translation elongation factors are responsible for two main processes during protein synthesis on the ribosome [[cite:PUB00033953], [cite:PUB00033952], [cite:PUB00033951]]. 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.</p> <p>Elongation factor EF1B (also known as EF-Ts or EF-1beta/gamma/delta) is a nucleotide exchange factor that is required to regenerate EF1A from its inactive form (EF1A-GDP) to its active form (EF1A-GTP). EF1A is then ready to interact with a new aminoacyl-tRNA to begin the cycle again. EF1B is more complex in eukaryotes than in bacteria, and can consist of three subunits: EF1B-alpha (or EF-1beta), EF1B-gamma (or EF-1gamma) and EF1B-beta (or EF-1delta) [[cite:PUB00033953]].</p> <p>This entry represents a conserved domain superfamily. This domain is usually found near the C terminus of EF1B-gamma chains, a peptide of 410-440 residues. The gamma chain appears to play a role in anchoring the EF1B complex to the beta and delta chains and to other cellular components.</p>
