Abstract
Previous studies have shown that when bovine mitochondrial elongation factor Ts (EF-Ts) is expressed in Escherichia coli, it forms a tightly associated complex with E. coli elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu). In contrast to earlier experiments, purification of free mitochondrial EF-Ts was accomplished under nondenaturing conditions since only about 60% of the expressed EF-Ts copurified with E. coli EF-Tu. The bovine mitochondrial EF-Tu:GDP complex, the homologous mitochondrial EF-Tu:EF-Ts complex, and the heterologous E. coli/mitochondrial EF-Tu:EF-Ts complex were isolated and crystallised. The crystals of the EF-Tu:GDP complex diffract to 1.94 A and belong to space group P2(1) with cell parameters a=59.09 A, b=119.78 A, c=128.89 A and... (More)

The crystals of the homologous mitochondrial EF-Tu:EF-Ts complex diffract to 4 A and belong to space group C2 with cell parameters a=157.7 A, b=151.9 A, c=156.9 A, and beta=108.96 degrees. (Less)
