| UniProt functional annotation for Q5SHN6 | |||
| UniProt code: Q5SHN6. |
| Organism: | Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC 27634 / DSM 579 / HB8). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus. | |
| Function: | This protein promotes the GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl- tRNA to the A-site of ribosomes during protein biosynthesis. | |
| Function: | EF-Tu-GDP binds to the acceptor arm of tmRNA by interacting with its acceptor arm, suggesting that GTP hydrolysis by EF-Tu is essential for tmRNA function. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12677067}. | |
| Function: | Protects glycyl-tRNA(Gly) from hydrolysis by E.coli D- aminoacyl-tRNA deacylase (dtd) (PubMed:27224426). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27224426}. | |
| Subunit: | Monomer (By similarity). Binds to the 70S ribosome, contacts tmRNA during trans-translation (PubMed:12677067). {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00118, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12677067}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm. | |
| Ptm: | Phosphorylated on a threonine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8416965}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the TRAFAC class translation factor GTPase superfamily. Classic translation factor GTPase family. EF-Tu/EF-1A subfamily. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00118}. | |
