Figure 1.
Figure 1: Structures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae eEF3 and nucleotide binding. a, Schematic representation of the eEF3 sequence. See the text for a description of the different domains. Chromo, chromodomain; C-term, carboxy-terminal domain. b, Stereo view of the crystal structure of eEF3–ADP. The nucleotide is shown in ball-and-stick representation. c, Stereo view of the nucleotide-binding site. The electron density of ADP is generated from an omit map contoured at 1.5 (grey) or at 0.8 around the -phosphate (green). d, Three different conformations of eEF3. Left: crystal structure of eEF3. Middle: ATP model of eEF3 constructed using homology to the structure of MJ0796. Right: Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) reconstruction of eEF3 on the 80S ribosome.
