To sustain efficient translation, eukaryotic elongation factor B alpha (eEF1B alpha) functions as the guanine nucleotide exchange factor for eEF1A. Stopped-flow kinetics using 2'-(or 3')-O-N-methylanthraniloyl (mant)-GDP showed spontaneous release of nucleotide from eEF1A is extremely slow and accelerated 700-fold by eEF1B alpha ...
