Structural details of the guanosine diphosphate binding to a modified form of elongation factor Tu from Escherichia coli, resulting from X-ray crystallographic studies, are reported. The protein elements that take part in the nucleotide binding are located in four loops connecting beta-strands with alpha-helices. These loops correspond to regions in primary sequences which show a high degree of homology when compared with other prokaryotic and eukaryotic elongation factors and initiation factor 2.
报道了通过X射线晶体学研究得出的鸟苷二磷酸与大肠杆菌延伸因子Tu的一种修饰形式结合的结构细节。参与核苷酸结合的蛋白质元件位于连接β链与α螺旋的四个环中。这些环对应于与其他原核和真核延伸因子以及起始因子2相比在一级序列中显示出高度同源性的区域。
