Eukaryotic elongation factors are very similar to those in prokaryotes. Elongation in eukaryotes is carried out with two elongation factors: eEF-1 and eEF-2. * The first is eEF-1, and has two subunits, α and βγ. α acts as counterpart to prokaryotic EF-Tu, mediating the entry of the aminoacyl tRNA into a free site of the ribosome. βγ acts as counterpart to prokaryotic EF-Ts, serving as the guanine nucleotide exchange factor for α, catalyzing the release of GDP from α. * The second elongation factor is eEF-2, the counterpart to prokaryotic EF-G, catalyzing the translocation of the tRNA and mRNA down the ribosome at the end of each round of polypeptide elongation. ==External links== * (nobelprize.org ) Explaining the function of eukaryotic elongation factors 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eukaryotic elongation factors」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
