FunFam 37814: 60S ribosomal protein L3

There are 2 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Protein-synthesizing GTPase. [EC: 3.6.5.3]
GTP + H(2)O = GDP + phosphate.
  • This enzyme comprises a family of proteins involved in prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic protein synthesis.
  • In the initiation factor complex, it is IF-2b (98 kDa) that binds GTP and subsequently hydrolyzes it in prokaryotes.
  • In eukaryotes, it is eIF-2 (150 kDa) that binds GTP.
  • In the elongation phase, the GTP-hydrolyzing proteins are the EF-Tu polypeptide of the prokaryotic transfer factor (43 kDa), the eukaryotic elongation factor EF-1-alpha (53 kDa), the prokaryotic EF-G (77 kDa), the eukaryotic EF-2 (70-110 kDa) and the signal recognition particle that play a role in endoplasmic reticulum protein synthesis (325 kDa).
  • EF-Tu and EF-1-alpha catalyze binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosomal A-site, while EF-G and EF-2 catalyze the translocation of peptidyl-tRNA from the A-site to the P-site.
  • GTPase activity is also involved in polypeptide release from the ribosome with the aid of the pRFs and eRFs.
  • Formerly EC 3.6.1.48.

UTP-monosaccharide-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase. [EC: 2.7.7.64]
UTP + a monosaccharide 1-phosphate = diphosphate + UDP-monosaccharide.
  • The reaction can occur in either direction and it has been postulated that MgUTP and Mg-diphosphate are the actual substrates.
  • Catalyzes the formation of UDP-Glc, UDP-Gal, UDP-GlcA, UDP-L-Ara and UDP-Xyl, showing broad substrate specificity toward monosaccharide 1-phosphates.
  • Mannose 1-phosphate, L-fucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate are not substrates and UTP cannot be replaced by other nucleotide triphosphates.
