This family is the guanine nucleotide exchange domain of EF-1 beta and EF-1 delta chains.
Translation elongation factors are responsible for two main processes during protein synthesis on the ribosome [PUBMED:12762045, PUBMED:15922593, PUBMED:12932732]. EF1A (or EF-Tu) is responsible for the selection and binding of the cognate aminoacyl-tRNA to the A-site (acceptor site) of the ribosome. EF2 (or EF-G) is responsible for the translocation of the peptidyl-tRNA from the A-site to the P-site (peptidyl-tRNA site) of the ribosome, thereby freeing the A-site for the next aminoacyl-tRNA to bind. Elongation factors are responsible for achieving accuracy of translation and both EF1A and EF2 are remarkably conserved throughout evolution.
