The role of Glu259 in Escherichia coli elongation factor Tu in ternary complex formation.
Determination of the crystal structure of the ternary complex formed between elongation factor Tu:GTP and aminoacylated tRNA revealed three regions of interaction between elongation factor Tu and tRNA. The structure indicates that the conserved glutamic acid at position 271 in Thermus aquaticus EF-Tu could be involved in the binding of the 3' CCA-Phe end of the aminoacylated tRNA. Therefore, th...
متن کاملThe influence of different modifications of elongation factor Tu from Escherichia coli on ternary complex formation investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy.
A fluorescence titration assay was used to detect the effects of various modifications of E.coli elongation factor Tu on the formation of the ternary complex with aminoacyl-tRNAs. The treatment of EF-Tu.GDP with TPCK, an analogue of the 3'terminus of aminoacyl-tRNA, was found to have no influence on the conversion of EF-Tu.GDP to 'active' EF-Tu.GTP, but does decrease the affinity of the activat...
متن کاملPulvomycin, an inhibitor of protein biosynthesis preventing ternary complex formation between elongation factor Tu, GTP, and aminoacyl-tRNA.
Pulvomycin and the synonymous antibiotics labilomycin and 1063-Z are shown to inhibit prokaryotic protein synthesis by acting on elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu): in the presence of the antibiotic, the affinity of EF-Tu for guanine nucleotides is altered, the EF-Tu.GDP/GTP exchange is catalyzed, and the formation of the EF-Tu.GTP complex is stimulated. Hydrolysis of GTP by EF-Tu, induced by aminoac...
متن کاملEffect of trypsin modification of the Escherichia coli elongation factor Tu on the ternary complex with aminoacyl-tRNA.
The ribonuclease resistance assay has been used to probe the effect of trypsin modification of the Escherichia coli elongation factor Tu X GTP on the interaction with E. coli aminoacyl-tRNAs. First, the equilibrium dissociation constant of the trypsin-modified Tu X GTP X Thr-tRNA complex was determined to be 2.3 (0.1) X 10(-5)M at 4 degrees C, pH 7.4. Second, binding of 17 of 20 noninitiator am...
متن کاملIsolation and stability of ternary complexes of elongation factor Tu, GTP and aminoacyl-tRNA.
Intact, native EF-Tu, isolated using previously described methods and fully active in binding GTP, was never found to be fully active in binding aminoacyl-tRNA as judged by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) gel filtration and zone-interference gel-electrophoresis. In the presence of kirromycin, however, all these EF-Tu.GTP molecules bind aminoacyl-tRNA, although with a drastically r...
