Gamma subunit of the translation initiation factor 2 from Sulfolobus solfataricus in complex with GDP and formate ion mimic aIF2gamma*GDP*Pi complex (a formate ion substitutes for Pi)
This domain contains a P-loop motif, also found in several other families such as Pfam:PF00071, Pfam:PF00025 and Pfam:PF00063. Elongation factor Tu consists of three structural domains, this plus two C-terminal beta barrel domains.
Members of this family, which are found in the initiation factors eIF2 and EF-Tu, adopt a structure consisting of a beta barrel with Greek key topology. They are required for formation of the ternary complex with GTP and initiator tRNA [1].
