Eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1, delta; eef1d
Elongation factor 1, delta; ef1d
Guanine nucleotide exchange protein

DESCRIPTION

Eukaryotic elongation factor-1 (EF1) consists of 4 subunits, EF1-alpha (EEF1A1; 130590), EF1-beta (EEF1B2; 600655), EF1-gamma (EEF1G; 130593), and EF1-delta. EIF-alpha-GTP transfers aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosome, and the release of animoacyl-tRNA from EIF-alpha-GTP is driven by GTP hydrolysis. EF1-alpha-GDP is recycled to EF1-alpha-GTP by the EF1-beta, -gamma, and -delta subunits (Sanders et al., 1996).

CLONING

Using Xenopus Ef1-delta to probe a human skin fibroblast cDNA library, Sanders et al. (1993) cloned EF1-delta. The deduced 281-amino acid protein has a calculated molecular mass of 31 kD. It has an N-terminal leucine zipper domain and a C-terminal domain that is similar to that of EF1-beta and is predicted to show GDP/GTP exchange activity. EF1-delta also has a conserved serine phosphorylation site. SDS-PAGE detected EF1-delta at an apparent molecular mass of 38 kD. By Western blot analysis, Sanders et al. (1996) detected 1 major and 2 minor EF1-delta bands, which they attributed to variable degrees of phosphorylation. Immunofluorescence analysis detected EF1-beta, -gamma, and -delta in a perinuclear distribution in human foreskin fibroblasts, and these subunits colocalized with an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident protein. In contrast, EF1-alpha showed strong nuclear staining and diffuse cytoplasmic staining.

GENE FUNCTION

Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) Tat protein has an N-terminal domain that is a potent activator of transcription from the viral long terminal repeat promoter. Tat is also essential for viral replication and can activate or repress transcription of host cell genes. Using Tat as bait in a yeast 2-hybrid screen of a HeLa cell cDNA library, Xiao et al. (1998) isolated EF1-delta. Protein pull-down and Western blot analyses confirmed direct interaction between Tat and EF1-delta. EF1-delta specifically interacted with the Tat C-terminal domain. Titration of purified recombinant Tat into in vitro translation reactions showed that Tat inhibited translation of cellular, but not viral, proteins. Xiao et al. (1998) hypothesized that by binding EF1-delta, Tat redirects the protein synthesis machinery toward producing large amounts of viral proteins. Using yeast 2-hybrid analysis, Ong et al. (2003) found that kinectin (KTN1; 600381) interacted directly with EF1-delta. Using peptide fragments, Ong et al. (2003) showed that a 60-amino acid domain near the kinectin C terminus was required for EF1-delta binding. Endogenous kinectin colocalized with EF1-delta in the ER. Expression of the kinectin EF1-delta-binding domain disrupted EF1-delta localization, suggesting that kinectin anchors EF1-delta to the ER membrane. Ong et al. (2003) also showed that CDC2 (116940) phosphorylated HeLa cell EF1-delta in vitro. ... More on the omim web site
