GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for eIF2, the interaction is mediated by an eIF5B-binding motif located at the C-terminus of eIF1A. The C-terminal tail of eIF1A is located in the ribosomal P-site and counteracts the transition from open to closed complex. EIF5 competes with eIF1A for binding to eIF5B
non-hydrolyzable or slowly hydrolyzable GTP analogues such as GMP-PCP and GMP-PNP, able to stall elongation factor on the ribosome, increase the efficiency of the reverse translocation reaction

increasing pulvomycin concentration increased the rate of the intrinsic GTPase catalysed by elongation factor 1alpha, reaching its maximum stimulation effect at 30 mM. Pulvomycin exerts its stimulatory function at all the tested temperatures (45-75°C).
eIF5 is the GTPase-activating protein (GAP) of eIF2, eIF5 promotes GTP hydrolysis by eIF2, followed by phosphate release. EIF2-GDP has lower affinity for Met-tRNAi than eIF2-GTP, and is released together with its GAP, eIF5
human eIF5, the GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for eIF2, also binds to eIF5B, with affinity that is about two orders of magnitude higher than that of eIF1A. The interaction is mediated by an eIF5B-binding motif located at the C-terminus of eIF5, similar to that of eIF1A and the two proteins compete for binding to eIF5B. NMR structure analysis of the binding interface between eIF5-CT39 and eIF5B-D4, structure of the human eIF5B-D4-eIF5-C-terminal tail (CTT) complex, overview
the C-terminal domian of L7/12 is responsible for EF-Tu function. Functional compatibility between elongation factor Tu and the L7/12 protein in the ribosome governs its translational specificity
intrinsic GTPase activity of elongation factor 1alpha is triggered in vitro by NaCl at molar concentrations. The sodium ion is responsible for the induction of the GTPase activity, whereas the anion modulates the enzymatic activity through destabilization of particular regions of the protein
stimulates GTPase activity of elongation factor Tu. The factor binding site is loacetd on the 50S ribosomal subunit and comprises proteins L7/12, L10, L11, the l11-binding region of 23 rRNA, and the sarcin-ricin loop of 23S rRNA. L7/12 stimulates the GTPase activity of elongation factor G by inducing the catalytically active conformation of the G domain

presence of nonhydrolyzable GTP analogues increases the reverse translocation at mRNA activity of eukaryotic elongation factor eEF2. Reverse translocation requires an excessive concentration of cognate deacylated tRNA
