The elongation factor Ts was isolated from the psychrophilic Antarctic eubacterium Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis TAC 125 strain (PhEF-Ts), and its functional properties were studied. At 0 °C PhEF-Ts enhanced the [3H]GDP/GDP exchange rate on the preformed PhEF-Tuâ[3H]GDP complex by 2 orders of magn...
