1 GTP hydrolysis by elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu), a translational GTPase that delivers aminoacyl-tRNAs to the ribosome, plays a crucial role in decoding and translational fidelity. Guanosine Triphosphate eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1 Homo sapiens
2 GTP hydrolysis by elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu), a translational GTPase that delivers aminoacyl-tRNAs to the ribosome, plays a crucial role in decoding and translational fidelity. Guanosine Triphosphate eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1 Homo sapiens
3 Here we use mutational analysis in combination with measurements of rate/pH profiles, kinetic solvent isotope effects, and ion dependence of GTP hydrolysis by EF-Tu off and on the ribosome to dissect the reaction mechanism. Guanosine Triphosphate eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1 Homo sapiens
4 In contrast, upon cognate codon recognition, the ribosome induces a rearrangement of EF-Tu that renders GTP hydrolysis sensitive to mutations of Asp21 and His84 and insensitive to K(+) ions. Guanosine Triphosphate eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1 Homo sapiens
