Abstract

Fluoroaluminates are thought to mimic the γ‐phosphate of GTP and thus, together with GDP, perturb the functioning of heterotrimeric GTP‐binding G‐proteins. Here we show they do inhibit the ribosome‐stimulated GTPase activity of EF‐G from Escherichia coli via the formation of a stable complex with EF‐G·GDP and ribosomes. In contrast, no perturbed interactions were observed in a similar ribosomal complex with EF‐Tu. Interestingly, in the absence of ribosomes both EF‐Tu and EF‐G remain totally unaffected by fluoroaluminates. For members of the GTPase superfamily such differential effects have not been described before.
