In molecular biology, elongation factor P is a prokaryotic protein translation factor required for efficient peptide bond synthesis on 70S ribosomes from fMet-tRNAfMet.[1] It probably functions indirectly by altering the affinity of the ribosome for aminoacyl-tRNA, thus increasing their reactivity as acceptors for peptidyl transferase.
Elongation factor P consists of three domains:
- An N-terminal KOW-like domain
- A central OB domain, which forms an oligonucleotide-binding fold. It is not clear if this region is involved in binding nucleic acids[2]
- A C-terminal domain which adopts an OB-fold, with five beta-strands forming a beta-barrel in a Greek-key topology[2]
eIF5A is the eukaryotic homolog of EF-P.
Function
It has been suggested that after binding of the initiator tRNA to the P/I site, it is correctly positioned to the P site by binding of EF-P to the E site.[3]
