* Elongation factor P signature *
*********************************

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.

-Consensus pattern: K-x-[AV]-x(4)-G-x(2)-[LIVT]-x-V-P-x(2)-[LIVC]-x(2)-[GD]
-Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
-Other sequence(s) detected in Swiss-Prot: NONE.
-Last update: December 2004 / Pattern and text revised.
