Energy-dependent translational throttle protein EttA

UniProtKB accession:  P9WQK3

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  A translation factor that gates the progression of the 70S ribosomal initiation complex (IC, containing tRNA(fMet) in the P-site) into the translation elongation cycle by using a mechanism sensitive to the ATP/ADP ratio. Binds to the 70S ribosome E-site where it modulates the state of the translating ribosome during subunit translocation. ATP hydrolysis probably frees it from the ribosome, which can enter the elongation phase.
