    • The protein

    Protein family

  • [SW|TRAFAC class translation factor GTPase superfamily] (according to UniProt)
  • [SW|Classic translation factor GTPase family] (according to UniProt)

    • Modification

  • phosphorylated on Thr-384 by [protein|23FF4A00C36EC1B7297F51A9EF3579B41F0B7EBA|PrkC], dephosphorylated by [protein|84447F9A6644EA8A7593BB99B2B69D4377E670E2|PrpC] [Pubmed|19246764], [Pubmed|17726680]
  • Cys83 is S-bacillithiolated in B. subtilis and other Bacillus species [Pubmed|22938038]
  • phosphorylated on Arg-265 [Pubmed|31221751]
  • phosphorylated on several Arg residues [Pubmed|24263382]
  • phosphorylated during [SW|sporulation] on Thr-63 by [protein|E86A96B832351FF513DD9853EAD8998CC44C9951|YabT], dephosphorylated by [protein|84447F9A6644EA8A7593BB99B2B69D4377E670E2|PrpC] [Pubmed|26056311]
  • phosphorylated on Tyr-270 [Pubmed|26381121]

    • Effectors of protein activity

  • phosphorylation by YabT results in inhibtion of GTP hydrolysis; as a result, EF-Tu remains stably bound
  • to the [SW|ribosome], stalling protein [SW|translation] [Pubmed|26056311]

    • Structure

  • [PDB|3U6B] (from ''E. coli '', 77% identity) [Pubmed|21999529]

    • [SW|Localization]

  • EF-Tu localizes in a helical pattern underneath the cell membrane and colocalizes with [protein|A4C8719E06F774A6EB4D79757CC79CF89E453A54|MreB] [Pubmed|20133608]
  • membrane [Pubmed|18763711]
  • cytoplasm (according to UniProt)
