Protein existenceEvidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function

This protein promotes the GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the A-site of ribosomes during protein biosynthesis. With PARP1 and TXK, forms a complex that acts as a T helper 1 (Th1) cell-specific transcription factor and binds the promoter of IFN-gamma to directly regulate its transcription, and is thus involved importantly in Th1 cytokine production. Ref.8

Subunit structure

Found in a nuclear export complex with XPO5, EEF1A1, Ran and aminoacylated tRNA. Interacts with PARP1, TXK, XPO5 and KARS. May interact with ERGIC2. Ref.8 Ref.12 Ref.13 Ref.20 Ref.21

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus Ref.8.

Tissue specificity

Brain, placenta, lung, liver, kidney, pancreas but barely detectable in heart and skeletal muscle.

Post-translational modification

ISGylated. Ref.14

Phosphorylated by TXK. Phosphorylation by PASK increases translation efficiency. Ref.8 Ref.15 Ref.17 Ref.18 Ref.19

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the GTP-binding elongation factor family. EF-Tu/EF-1A subfamily.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAA52367.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.
