Abstract excerpt
During protein synthesis, the two elongation factors Tu and G alternately bind to the 50S ribosomal subunit at a site of which the protein L7/L12 is an essential component. L7/L12 is present in each 50S subunit in four copies organized as two dimers. Each dimer consists of distinct domains: a single N-terminal ("tail") domain that is responsible for both dimerization and binding to the ribosome via interaction...
