摘要：

The function of His(118) in elongation factor (EF)-Tu from Escherichia coli was investigated by its substitution with glycine. The substitution had a differential effect on individual functions of the protein. The affinity for aminoacyl (aa)-tRNA and the intrinsic GTPase activity of the mutant EF-Tu were decreased whereas the response of its GTPase center to aa-tRNA was strongly increased. These results suggest that the region around His(118) is involved in the binding of aa-tRNA and in the transmission of a turn-off signal generated by the interaction with aa-tRNA and directed to the GTPase center of EF-Tu.
