The molecular and functional properties of the elongation factor (EF) G from the psychrophilic Antarctic eubacterium Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis (Ph) were studied. PhEF-G catalyzed protein synthesis in vitro that was inhibited by fusidic acid, an antibiotic specifically acting on EF-G. The EF int...
