what is the eukaryotic equivalent of EF-TU?
During protein synthesis (translation), Elongation of a polypeptide chain requires 3 elongation factors (EF-Tu, EF-Ts, & EF-G) in prokaryotes, while 4 factors, (EF-1a, EF-1b, EF-1g & EF-2) in eukaryotes. These factors recycle the transport of aminoacyl-transfer RNA molecules to the A site of the ribosome and translocate the ribosome forward by one codon after the amide linkage formation. Thus, elongation factors share high similarities in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
EF-Tu is equivalent to EF-1a.
