Abstract excerpt
Ribosomal protein L7/12 is crucial for the function of elongation factor G (EF-G) on the ribosome. Here, we report the localization of a site in the C-terminal domain (CTD) of L7/12 that is critical for the interaction with EF-G. Single conserved surface amino acids were replaced in the CTD of L7/12. Whereas mutations in helices 5 and 6 had no effect, replacements of V66, I69, K70, and R73 in helix 4 increased...
