Crystal Structure of the Bovine Mitochondrial Elongation Factor Tu·Ts Complex

Abstract: The three-dimensional structure of the bovine mitochondrial elongation factor (EF)-Tu⅐Ts complex (EFTu mt ⅐Ts mt ) has been determined to 2.2-Å resolution using the multi-wavelength anomalous dispersion experimental method. This complex provides the first insight into the structure of EF-Ts mt . EF-Ts mt is similar to Escherichia coli and Thermus thermophilus EF-Ts in the amino-terminal domain. However, the structure of EF-Ts mt deviates considerably in the core domain with a fivestranded ␤-sheet forming a por… Show more

“…3), that is conserved in 99 (63.9%) out of 155 animal species analyzed (GenBank, 11 September 2015; Supplementary Figure S1). The three-dimensional structure of the bovine elongation factor Tu (EFTu)-EFTs dimer (PDB 1XB2) 4 was obtained with the RasMol 2.6 program (http://www.rasmol.org). The cysteine 240 is located in EFTs subdomain C β5 strand from the core domain.…”

“…Among them, reduction of mitochondrial elongation factor Tu, mitochondrial elongation factor Ts and electron transfer flavoprotein (Table I) were observed. Tu and Ts proteins maintain the basic mitochondrial functions, such as the synthesis of 13 polypeptides of the electron transport chain and the ATP synthase in the inner membrane [Jeppesen et al, 2005]. Electron Transfer Flavoprotein is responsible for electron shuttles between primary flavoprotein dehydrogenases involved in mitochondrial fatty acid and amino acid catabolism and the membrane-bound electron transfer flavoprotein ubiquinone oxidoreductase [Roberts et al, 1996].…”

“…Thus, eEF1B␣ can alter the distribution of eEF1A between translational and non-canonical functions. Evolutionarily, this is particularly important because despite the high degree of sequence and structural conservation between eEF1A, EF-Tu, and EF-Tu mt ; there is a major difference in how these proteins form a complex with their GEFs (8,10,11). To achieve guanine nucleotide exchange catalysis, all three GEFs bind to domain I as this region consists of the conserved G-domains and Mg 2ϩ binding site (Fig.…”

“…The co-crystal structures of eEF1A:eEF1B␣ C terminus:GDP: Mg 2ϩ and eEF1A:eEF1B␣ C terminus:GDPNP (8, 9) demonstrated a surprising structural divergence from the bacterial EF-Tu-EF-Ts (10) and mammalian mitochondrial EF-Tu mt -EF-Ts mt (11). While the G-proteins have a similar topology and consist of three well-defined domains, a striking difference was observed in binding sites for their GEFs.…”
