UniProt functional annotation for Q76G20

UniProt code: Q76G20.

Organism: Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC 27634 / DSM 579 / HB8).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus.
 
Function: Involved in peptide bond synthesis. Stimulates efficient translation and peptide-bond synthesis on native or reconstituted 70S ribosomes in vitro. Probably functions indirectly by altering the affinity of the ribosome for aminoacyl-tRNA, thus increasing their reactivity as acceptors for peptidyl transferase (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
 
Pathway: Protein biosynthesis; polypeptide chain elongation.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity: Belongs to the elongation factor P family. {ECO:0000305}.
