Description
Translational elongation factor EF-1 alpha; in the GTP-bound active form, binds to and delivers aminoacylated tRNA to the A-site of ribosomes for elongation of nascent polypeptides; associates with vacuolar Rho1p GTPase; may also have a role in tRNA re-export from the nucleus; TEF1 has a paralog, TEF2, that arose from the whole genome duplication [Source:SGD;Acc:S000006284]
