Isolation, crystallisation, and preliminary X-ray analysis of the bovine mitochondrial EF-Tu:GDP and EF-Tu:EF-Ts complexes
Previous studies have shown that when bovine mitochondrial elongation factor Ts (EF-Ts) is expressed in Escherichia coli, it forms a tightly associated complex with E. coli elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu). In contrast to earlier experiments, purification of free mitochondrial EF-Ts was accomplished under nondenaturing conditions since only about 60% of the expressed EF-Ts copurified with E. coli EF-T
