    -  Comments
  • FUNCTION:This protein promotes the GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the A-site of ribosomes during protein biosynthesis.
  • FUNCTION:May play an important regulatory role in cell growth and in the bacterial response to nutrient deprivation.
  • SUBUNIT:Monomer.
  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION:Cytoplasmic and membrane-associated.
  • MISCELLANEOUS:This chain is also used in bacteriophage Q-beta RNA polymerase.
  • MISCELLANEOUS:The antibiotic kirromycin inhibits protein biosynthesis by inhibiting the release of EF-Tu from the ribosome.
  • MISCELLANEOUS:The antibiotic pulvomycin inhibits protein biosynthesis by disrupting the allosteric control mechanism of EF-Tu.
  • MISCELLANEOUS:The sequence of the tufB gene is shown. TufA differs in a single position.
  • SIMILARITY:Belongs to the GTP-binding elongation factor family. EF-Tu/EF-1A subfamily.
