EFP

Protein name

RecName: Full=Elongation factor P; Short=EF-P;

Gene name

efp

FUNCTION: Involved in peptide bond synthesis. Stimulates efficient translation and peptide-bond synthesis on native or reconstituted 70S ribosomes in vitro. Probably functions indirectly by altering the affinity of the ribosome for aminoacyl-tRNA, thus increasing their reactivity as acceptors for peptidyl transferase (By similarity).

PATHWAY: Protein biosynthesis; polypeptide chain elongation.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the elongation factor P family.
