G PROTEIN MECHANISMS: Insights from Structural Analysis

TL;DR: This review is concerned with the structures and mechanisms of a superfamily of regulatory GTP hydrolases (G proteins), which include Ras and its close homologs, translation elongation factors, and heterotrimeric G proteins.

Patterns of predation in a diverse predator-prey system.

TL;DR: Biodiversity allows both predation (top-down) and resource limitation (bottom-up) to act simultaneously to affect herbivore populations.

Isolation and Characterization of the Human Chromosomal Gene for Polypeptide Chain Elongation Factor-1α

TL;DR: By using nuclear extracts from HeLa cells, the promoter of human elongation factor-1 alpha gene could stimulate in vitro transcription better than the adenovirus major late promoter.

The structure of the Escherichia coli EF-Tu. EF-Ts complex at 2.5 Å resolution

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the EF- Tu·EF-Ts complex from Escherichia coli has been determined to a resolution of 2.5 Å and the interaction of EF-Ts with EF-Tu results principally in the disruption of the Mg2+ ion binding site, thereby reducing the affinity of EF -Tu for guanine nucleotides.

Studies on the purification and properties of factor Tu from E. coli.

TL;DR: Transfer factor Tu has been purified to apparent homogeneity from extracts of Escherichia coli and contains a sulfhydryl group essential for GDP binding, which in Tu free of nucleotide reacts readily with N-ethylmaleimide, but in Tu-GDP is almost inert.

Hydrolysis of Guanosine 5'-Triphosphate Associated with Binding of Aminoacyl Transfer Ribonucleic Acid to Ribosomes

TL;DR: It is concluded that, although GTP hydrolysis resulted from the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to ribosomes in a 1:1 stoichiometry, the two reactions were not tightly coupled under all experimental conditions.
