PROSITE documentation PDOC00981Elongation factor P signature
Description
Elongation factor P (EF-P) [1] is a prokaryotic protein translation factor required for efficient peptide bond synthesis on 70S ribosomes from fMet-tRNAfMet. EF-P is a protein of 21 Kd. It is evolutionary related to yeiP, an hypothetical protein from Escherichia coli.
As a signature pattern, we selected a conserved region located in the C-terminal part of these proteins.
