Figure 6. Schematic for EF-G and Thiopeptide Action during Translation
(A–D) Model for events leading to EF-G accommodation on the ribosome and Pi release as described in the text. Effect of (E) Thio (purple) and (F) Micro (brown) are also shown schematically. Individual domains of EF-G (orange) are labeled with II-V and G/G′, and the stalk base (SB) components are indicated with L11 (green) divided into with N- and C-terminal domains (NTD, CTD) and rRNA helices H43 and H44 (blue). The C-terminal domain of L7 (L7-CTD) is shown in red. Note that for simplicity, the switching mechanism has been divided into two distinct steps; however, it is unclear as to whether they are sequential, as shown here, or occur simultaneously.
