Eukaryotic elongation factors

Eukaryotic elongation factors are very similar to those in prokaryotes.

Elongation in eukaryotes is carried out with two elongation factors:

eEF-1, whose α and βγ subunits act as counterparts to EF-Tu and EF-Ts, respectively
eEF-2, the counterpart to prokaryotic EF-G

Genes

v • d • e Protein biosynthesis: translation (prokaryotic, eukaryotic)
Ribosomal proteins	Initiation factor (Prokaryotic, Eukaryotic) - Elongation factor (Prokaryotic, Eukaryotic) - Release factor (Prokaryotic, Eukaryotic) - Ribosomal protein s6
Other concepts	Aminoacyl tRNA synthetase - Reading frame - Start codon - Shine-Dalgarno sequence/Kozak consensus sequence

v • d • e Acid anhydride hydrolases: GTPases/G proteins (EC 3.6.5)
3.6.5.1: Heterotrimeric G protein	G_αs - G_αi - G_αq/11 - G_α12/13 - Transducin
3.6.5.2: Small GTPase	Ras - Rab (Rab27) - Arf (Arf6) - Ran - Rheb - Rho (RhoA, RhoB, CDC42, Rac1) - Rap
3.6.5.3: Elongation factor	Prokaryotic - Eukaryotic
3.6.5.5-6: Other	Dynamin (is a GTPase, is not a G protein) - Tubulin
