Fusidic acid | a specific inhibitor of the GTPase activity of EF-G, almost complete inhibition | Escherichia coli | |
H2O2 | oxidation of EF-G inhibits the function of EF-G on the ribosome. With hydrogen peroxide, neither the insertion of EF-G into the ribosome nor single-cycle translocation activity in vitro is affected, while the GTPase activity and the dissociation of EF-G from the ribosome are suppressed when EF-G is oxidized. The synthesis of longer peptides is suppressed to a greater extent than that of a shorter peptide when EF-G is oxidized | Escherichia coli |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
malfunction | EF-G is inactivated upon formation of an intramolecular disulfide bond by Cys114 and Cys266. The enzyme is reactivated by thioredoxin, and replacement of Cys114 by serine allows H2O2-treated EF-G to support translation at the same rate as DTT-treated EF-G. Oxidation of EF-G inhibits the function of EF-G on the ribosome. The GTPase activity and the dissociation of EF-G from the ribosome are suppressed when EF-G is oxidized. With hydrogen peroxide, neither the insertion of EF-G into the ribosome nor single-cycle translocation activity in vitro is affected, while the GTPase activity and the dissociation of EF-G from the ribosome are suppressed when EF-G is oxidized. The synthesis of longer peptides is suppressed to a greater extent than that of a shorter peptide when EF-G is oxidized. The formation of the disulphide bond in EF-G might interfere with the hydrolysis of GTP that is coupled with dissociation of EF-G from the ribosome and might thereby retard the turnover of EF-G within the translational machinery | Escherichia coli |
physiological function | elongation factor G (EF-G) is a key protein in translational elongation. It interacts with 70S ribosomes | Escherichia coli |
