  Domain Name: EF_Tu
Elongation Factor Tu (EF-Tu) GTP-binding proteins. EF-Tu subfamily. This subfamily includes orthologs of translation elongation factor EF-Tu in bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. It is one of several GTP-binding translation factors found in the larger family of GTP-binding elongation factors. The eukaryotic counterpart, eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 (eEF-1 alpha), is excluded from this family. EF-Tu is one of the most abundant proteins in bacteria, as well as, one of the most highly conserved, and in a number of species the gene is duplicated with identical function. When bound to GTP, EF-Tu can form a complex with any (correctly) aminoacylated tRNA except those for initiation and for selenocysteine, in which case EF-Tu is replaced by other factors. Transfer RNA is carried to the ribosome in these complexes for protein translation.
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.
