A ribosome-dependent GTPase from yeast distinct from elongation factor 2.

Abstract

Three proteins required for poly(U)-directed polyphenylalanine synthesis have been separated from yeast. Two of the factors correspond to the elongation factors 1 and 2 described for other eukaryotic systems, according to the criteria of phenylalanyl-tRNA binding and diphtheria toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation. The third protein, while absolutely required for polyphenylalanine synthesis, was a more active ribosome-dependent GTPase than elongation factor 2.
