Functional properties of phosphorylated elongation factor 2

CARLBERG, Ulf, NILSSON, Anders, NYGÅRD, Odd·1990·European Journal of Biochemistry

Abstract

The effect of phosphorylation on the functional activity of eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF‐2) was studied using a purified phosphorylated factor. The modified factor was unable to stimulate protein synthesis in an eEF‐2‐dependent rabbit reticulocyte lysate. The functional alteration was further analyzed by measuring the effects of phosphorylation on the ability of the factor to catalyse the ribosome‐dependent hydrolysis of GTP. Kinetic analysis showed that both phosphorylated and unmodified factor was able to hydrolyse GTP with approximately the same maximum rate, indicating that the rate of nucleotide exchange was not impaired by the modification. However, the phosphorylated factor showed a marked reduction in the second‐order rate constant, suggesting that the phosphorylation interfered with ribosome · eEF‐2 complex formation by reducing the affinity of eEF‐2 for the ribosome. This assumption was confirmed by direct measurements of the dissociation constants for the ribosomal complexes containing unmodified and phosphorylated eEF‐2.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
