title: The primary structure of elongation factor EF-1 alpha from the brine shrimp Artemia.
abstract: cDNA as well as amino acid sequencing has revealed the complete primary structure of elongation factor EF-1 alpha from the brine shrimp Artemia. A comparison with the published sequences of bacterial EF-Tu, mitochondrial EF-Tu and chloroplastic EF-Tu shows that distinct areas of these polypeptide chains are conserved in evolution. The evolutionary distance between prokaryotic and eukaryotic types of EF-Tu is larger than among bacterial and organellar EF- Tus . A number of regions present in both EF-Tu and EF-G from Escherichia coli are also found in EF-1 alpha from Artemia.
