Effectors of protein activity
phosphorylation by YabT results in inhibtion of GTP hydrolysis; as a result, EF-Tu remains stably bound
to the [wiki|ribosome], stalling protein [wiki|translation] [Pubmed|26056311]
[wiki|Localization]
EF-Tu localizes in a helical pattern underneath the cell membrane and colocalizes with [protein|A4C8719E06F774A6EB4D79757CC79CF89E453A54|mreB] [Pubmed|20133608]
