CD Definition:
Domain III of EF-1. Eukaryotic elongation factor 1 (EF-1) is responsible for the GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNAs to ribosomes. EF-1 is composed of four subunits: the alpha chain, which binds GTP and aminoacyl-tRNAs, the gamma chain that probably plays a role in anchoring the complex to other cellular components and the beta and delta (or beta') chains. This family is the alpha subunit, and represents the counterpart of bacterial EF-Tu for the archaea (aEF-1 alpha) and eukaryotes (eEF-1 alpha).
