The crystal structure of a complex between the protein biosynthesis elongation factor eEF1A (formerly EF-1alpha) and the catalytic C terminus of its exchange factor, eEF1Balpha (formerly EF-1beta), was determined to 1.67 A resolution. One end of the nucleotide exchange factor is buried between the switch 1 and 2 regions of eEF1A and destroys the binding site for the Mg(2+) ion associated with the nucleotide ...
