Abstract It is thought that eucaryotic elongation factor eEF-Ts catalyzes the replacement of GDP for GTP on eucaryotic elongation factor eEF-Tu. We have found that eEF-Ts displays a strong nucleoside diphosphate phosphotransferase activity. This transferase activity resides in a dimer molecule of a subunit molecular weight close to 30,000. The transfosforylating activity of eEF-Ts results in a stimulatory effect of ATP, GTP, UTP and CTP on protein synthesis provided that GDP is present. The specificity for guanine nucleotides in protein synthesis resides only in eEF-Tu.
