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}.
