| Abstract | The G domain of elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu), representing the N-terminal half of the factor according to its three-dimensional model traced at high resolution, has been isolated by genetic manipulation of tufA and purified to homogeneity. The G domain, whose primary structure shares homology with the eukaryotic protein p21, is capable of supporting the basic activities of the intact molecule (guanine nucleotide binding in 1:1 molar ratio and GTPase activity). However, it is no longer exposed to the allosteric mechanisms regulating EF-Tu. The G-domain complexes with GTP and GDP display similar K'd values in the microM range, in contrast to EF-Tu that binds GDP much more tightly than GTP. Its GTPase shows the characteristics of a slow turnover reaction (0.1 mmol X sec-1 X mol-1 of G domain), whose rate closely corresponds to the initial hydrolysis rate of EF-Tu X GTP in the absence of effectors and lies in the typical range of GTPase of the p21 protein. Of the EF-Tu ligands only the ribosome displays a clear effect enhancing the G-domain GTPase. Our results suggest that the middle and C-terminal domain play an essential role in regulating the activity of the N-terminal domain of the intact molecule as well as in the interactions of EF-Tu with aminoacylated tRNA, elongation factor Ts, and kirromycin. With the isolation of the G domain of EF-Tu, a model protein has been constructed for studying and comparing common characteristics of the guanine nucleotide-binding proteins. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
