Abstract excerpt
Mutation of Pro82 into Thr, a residue situated in the second element (D80CPG83) of the consensus sequence proposed to interact with GTP/GDP in GTP-binding proteins was introduced via site-directed mutagenesis in the isolated guanine nucleotide-binding domain (G domain) of elongation factor Tu. G domainPT82 displays virtually no GTPase activity. As a major change, the apparent inhibition of the GTPase reaction is...
