Domain III of elongation factor (EF) Tu. Ef-Tu consists of three structural domains, designated I, II and III. Domain III adopts a beta barrel structure. Domain III is involved in binding to both charged tRNA and binding to elongation factor Ts (EF-Ts). EF-Ts is the guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor for EF-Tu. EF-Tu and EF-G participate in the elongation phase during protein biosynthesis on the ribosome. Their functional cycles depend on GTP binding and its hydrolysis. The EF-Tu complexed with GTP and aminoacyl-tRNA delivers tRNA to the ribosome, whereas EF-G stimulates translocation, a process in which tRNA and mRNA movements occur in the ribosome. Crystallographic studies revealed structural similarities ("molecular mimicry") between tertiary structures of EF-G and the EF-Tu-aminoacyl-tRNA ternary complex. Domains III, IV, and V of EF-G mimic the tRNA structure in the EF-Tu ternary complex; domains III, IV and V can be related to the acceptor stem, anticodon helix and T stem of tRNA respectively.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.
Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:
