The human leucine zipper-containing guanine-nucleotide exchange protein elongation factor-1 delta

Biochim Biophys Acta. 1993 Jul 18;1174(1):87-90. doi: 10.1016/0167-4781(93)90097-w.

Abstract

Copy-DNA clones containing the complete coding region of the human elongation factor-1 delta (EF-1 delta) mRNA have been isolated and characterized. We present the deduced amino acid sequence and observe in it a leucine zipper motif seen recently in EF-1 delta from Artemia and Xenopus laevis. The human EF-1 delta sequence shows a strong conservation in its C-terminal domain. The homology between the N-terminal domains of EF-1 delta proteins is low and almost exclusively limited to the leucine zipper motif.
