EF-P enhances the synthesis of certain dipeptides with N-formylmethionyl-tRNA and puromycine in vitro. EF-P binds to both the 30S and 50S ribosomal subunits. EF-P binds near the streptomycine binding site of the 16S rRNA in the 30S subunit. EF-P interacts with domains 2 and 5 of the 23S rRNA. The L16 ribosomal protein of the 50S or its N-terminal fragment are required for EF-P mediated peptide bond synthesis, whereas L11, L15, and L7/L12 are not required in this reaction, suggesting that EF-P may function at a different ribosomal site than most other translation factors. EF-P is essential for cell viability and is required for protein synthesis [ , , , ]. EF-P is mainly present in bacteria. The EF-P homologs in archaea and eukaryotes are the initiation factors aIF5A and eIF5A, respectively. EF-P has 3 domains (domains I, II, and III). Domains II and III are S1-like domains. This entry includes domain III (the second S1 domain of EF_P). Domains II and III of have structural homology to the eIF5A domain C, suggesting that domains II and III evolved by duplication. These domains adopt an OB-fold, with five β-strands forming a β-barrel in a Greek-key topology []. | Name | Elongation factor P, C-terminal |
